ABSTRACT:
An arrangement in an overhead conveyor, which has a chain part, a guide part, and load carriers connected or convertible to the chain part. The chain part is formed of a plurality of rotationally symmetrical driver bodies arranged in a row, and flexible connecting means interconnecting the driver bodies. The guide part is formed of a substantially U-shaped section opening upwards, with a groove in which the chain part is adapted to travel and be guided by inwardly directed sliding surfaces formed of slide elements. Slide elements are also arranged on the tops of the U section legs, and the load carrier rests with an arm against one of said tops. A second arm of the load carrier extends outside the leg of the U section for connecting a load. The load carrier engages the driver body in such a manner as to on the one hand rotatably support the driver body or the connecting means in positions adjacent to the driver body about the rotational symmetry axis thereof extending in the longitudinal direction of the guide part and, on the other hand, lock the driver body against movement in the transverse direction of the guide part.
