Abstract
A transport pocket for transporting an article in an overhead conveyor includes a suspension element by which the transport pocket can be suspended from the overhead conveyor, a pocket body having a front wall, a rear wall and a base therebetween, where the front wall has an opening, and a lever element by which the pocket body can be switched between at least two positions in which the front wall and the rear wall assume different relative vertical positions. In a first of the at least two positions, the opening is at a suitable distance from a deepest point of the pocket body for securely housing the article in the pocket body and, in a second of the at least two positions, the opening reaches the deepest point of the pocket body so that the article is able to slide out of the pocket body through the opening.
