ABSTRACT:
A suspension conveyor system (1) comprising a conveyor device (3) rolling along a track rail (2) with straight track sections, curves and/or switches. The conveyor device includes a bearing member (11), which is provided with a support member (17) for the articles to be conveyed, and at least two casters (12a, 12b) arranged on the bearing member (11) symmetrically with respect to each other with regard to a plane of symmetry (13). The track rail (2) has at least one running track (7) along which one of the casters (12a, 12b) rolls. In order to simplify the structural design of such a suspension conveyor system and in order to make it more universally applicable, the conveyor device has a bearing member (11) extending in the plane of symmetry (13) as well as casters (12a, 12b) projecting outwards from both sides of the bearing member (11), and the conveyor device (3) and the track rail (2) are constructed for use in a lateral suspension mode for movement over straight track sections, curves and/or switches, the plane of symmetry (13) being maintained essentially perpendicularly by a support, which is provided between the conveyor device (3) and the track rail (2). The conveyor device rolls always along only one running track (7) at the time, the caster running along the running track (7) being selectively the caster (12a, 12b) arranged on one side of the plane of symmetry (13) or on the other side thereof, whereas the free caster (12b, 12a) arranged on the respective opposite side of the plane of symmetry (13) is not in engagement with a running track (7).
