Abstract
A suspension conveyor system includes a conveyor adapted to be moved along a conveying path predetermined by a rail. The conveyor is driven by an elongated flexible conveyor element having arranged thereon at least one driver, which projects into the conveying path and which pushes the conveyor in response to a driving movement of the conveyor element. In order to improve the pushing function in a structurally simple manner, the driver is constructed as a plastic component comprising a holding member, which is to be connected to the conveyor element in an essentially rigid manner, and a driving finger arranged on the holding member, so that it is elastic in the direction of transport and adapted to be moved in the conveying path by the conveyor element.
