Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of fixedly locking support railings ( ) along a conveyor path. The support railings ( ) are of the type which has a circular cross section and are mounted in brackets ( ) in one or more rows. The fixedly locking takes place by means of a tool ( ) with two shanks ( ) which enter into engagement with the support railing ( ). A locking pin ( ) is placed between the upper side ( ) of the tool ( ) and the bracket ( ). The tool ( ) is thereafter turned so that the locking pin ( ) follows the periphery of the support railing ( ) until the upper side of the tool ( ) abuts against the bracket ( ). The locking pin ( ) has then reached a locking position. The method is re-usable.
