Abstract
Known conveyor carriages are provided with code carriers disposed on an outer side of the conveyor carriage. These code carriers are neither protected from damage, nor can they be read in alternative positions of the conveyor carriage and/or of the reading unit. In contrast thereto, if the conveyor carriage is formed as a housing from an electronic circuit of the non-contracting control type acting as the code carrier, the code carrier is protectively housed and can be read or controlled from the desired direction. The conveyor carriage according to the invention is suitable for overhead conveyor systems.
