Abstract
The invention proposes a conveying apparatus with a three-dimensionally movable receiving conveyor for receiving conveyable-article carriers ( ) from a suspended conveyor in which the conveyable-article carriers ( ) are guided on a running-roller guide profile for movement along a first conveying section ( ) and are supported in a suspended manner on own running rollers ( ). The receiving conveyor has a series of receiving elements ( ) which are arranged one after the other on a drive chain ( ), are moved by the chain ( ) along a second conveying section ( ) and are intended for the conveyable-article carriers ( ), it being the case that, at a receiving location, the conveying sections ( ) run closely adjacent, and the receiving elements ( ) are guided such that they execute a lifting movement in order for conveyable-article carriers ( ), which are fed to the receiving location ( ) from the suspended conveying apparatus in each case, to be engaged at engagement means ( ), which project from said conveyable-article carriers, for the purpose of being carried along the second conveying section ( ).
