ABSTRACT:
To provide for diversion of transport plates (3) being transported in a main transport path (3) to a diversion path (6) extending, for example, at right angles to the main transport path and having transport belts (7) extending along the diversion path, while rotating workpieces (2) on the workpiece carrier plates (3) so that they will always face the same direction with respect to the transport or diversion path, for example at the outside of a rectangular production line-and-bypass arrangement (FIG. 1), deflection plates (10) are formed with a groove (12) at the bottom thereof, having a straight run-on and run-off portion and a quarter-circular portion, for engagement with guide rollers (18) positioned on pins (13) and secured to the transport plates (3) so that, upon frictional engagement of the transport plates with the belts running underneath the main transport path and the bypass path (6), the plates will be deflected and rotated at the same time. To selectively switch the plates, or not, the deflections plates can be secured to a lifting device (20), for selective disengagement or engagement of the rollers (18) in the groove (12) of the deflection plate. By placing rollers at two parallel edges of the deflection plate, the deflection plates can be, selectively, deflected towards the right or the left, in selected secondary transport paths.
