Abstract
A device for transferring load carriers between conveyor paths arranged at an angle relative to one another. The device has at least one guide element which is movable by a drive in the transporting path of the load carriers on a first conveyor path and in the direction of a second conveyor path for transferring the load carriers into the second conveyor path. In order to enable a reliable transfer of the load carriers and a high transfer capacity at the same time, the guide element is constructed as a driver which can move into a recess in the load carrier in a positive-locking manner for the transfer process.
