Abstract
A circulating conveyor, e.g. of the type in which a load carrier passes along an endless track and supports material to be conveyed, e.g. garments suspended by hangers from the load carrier, comprises in addition to the circulating track, a load carrier which runs with a plurality of wheels on the endless rail and has a displacement chain formed by a multiplicity of rigid links each constituted by a rigid bar hinged at its ends to the adjoining links. The lateral flanks of the bar are engageable by a friction drive roller and a counter roller to displace the chain and hence the load carrier along the circulating path.
