Abstract
A transporting installation ( ) comprises at least one conveyor belt ( ) on which are mounted at intervals carriages ( ) each equipped above with a horizontal roller ( ) for support of transport members ( ) and side guide wheels ( ) running inside parallel opposing and facing C rails ( ). For support of roller and wheels the carriage has a U bracket ( ) fastened on the belt and with seats opening upward on the U arms for support of a support pin in a zone at the sides of the roller. The ends of the pin project on the two sides of the bracket ( ) to each support one of said guide wheels with there being between the wheels and the bracket spacers ( ) removable transversally to the pin to free a space for axial running of the guide wheels towards the center of the carriage. In this manner the wheels can be shifted in the direction of withdrawing them from the C guide rails upon removal of the spacers.
