Abstract
The conveying apparatus for the bi-level irradiation chamber has a lifting device which cooperates with a bi-level rotary lock to introduce individual articles (piece goods) into the lock and to remove the articles from the lock. The lifting device allows an individual article to roll into one level of the lock while positively blocking entry of the following articles. Individual trollies are used to convey the articles within the irradiation chamber. The lifting device employs a catch to hold a trolley in position in the rotary lock to receive an article as well as a release device to release the catch after an article has been placed on a trolley.
