Abstract
An apparatus for shifting work carriers from a main conveying path (40) to a branching conveying path (45) arranged transversely thereto wherein the. The main conveying path (40) consists of a feeding conveying path (41) and a discharging conveying path (42). The conveying paths (40, 41, 42, 45) are formed from double-belt conveyors, one transport belt (45') of the branching conveying path (45) being arranged between the feeding conveying path (41) and the discharging conveying path (42). The feeding conveying path (41) and the discharging conveying path (42) are arranged with their ends in each case above the plane of the transport belt (45') of the branching conveying path (45). In the discharging conveying path (42), the transport belts (42', 42') are provided with lifting devices (20) which lower and lift the two tight sides (17) of the transport belts (42', 42') from a first plane at the height of the plane of the feeding conveying path (41) into a second plane below the plane of the branching conveying path (45) and vice versa.
