ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a switch for a suspended track transport apparatus, particularly of the building-block type and especially for interior use in the apparel industry. The switch comprises a support structure which includes two support tubes connected together at an angle to each other and a cross-stiffening element connected between the two support tubes. Stationary track sections are supported by the support tubes. Movable track sections are movably supported by pivot bearings and are coupled to each other by a lever apparatus. A switch setting device determines the switch position. The lever apparatus and the pivot bearings are accommodated within a dead space having sides extending along the support tubes and the cross-stiffening element of a height not exceeding the distance from fixed track sections to the support tubes. The lever apparatus is engaged in the vicinity of the movable track sections and is held at one end in the pivot bearing.
