ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a conveyor apparatus, particularly for intra-plant and plant-to-plant suspension conveyance, comprising a conveyor rail system for the conveyance therealong of bridge-type carriers suspended at both ends from the conveyor rails by means of rollers connected to said carriers by brackets, and container means for the goods to be conveyed, said container means being suspended from said carrier by means of a carrier head releasably engaging said carrier from above.
In order to enable said container means to be suspended from said rail system for conveyance or to be released therefrom, respectively, with a minimum of structural and labor expenditure, the carrier head is adapted to be released from the carrier by being lifted relative thereto and withdrawn in the longitudinal direction thereof.
For use with container means in the form of containers equipped with ground-engaging wheels or rollers for conveyance over the ground independent of the rail system there are provided engagement and release locations, respectively, whereat a preferably relative movement between the carrier and the carrier head is positively brought about.
