Abstract
A device for detecting transport boats includes a contact element for contacting a transport boat, and a connecting element spring mounted in a housing of the device, biased into an initial position and linearly displaceably guided via a guide of the housing. The contact element is connected to the spring mounted connecting element and is displaceable together therewith in such a way that contact of the transport boat with the contact element causes deflection of the connecting element against the bias from the initial position into a detection position. The device further includes a detection device adapted to detect reaching of the detection position by the connecting element.
