ABSTRACT:
A transport device for objects comprises a frame with a series of carriers that run mutually parallel and are pivotally coupled to an endless drivable moving track so as to enable displacement in a direction of displacement. At least some of the carriers comprise pusher shoes with guiding construction that are shiftable along the relevant carriers transversely of the direction of displacement using guide means arranged on the frame. The guiding construction comprises a guide pin with a guide body arranged thereon, wherein the guide pin comprises at least two portions of differing diameter, that the guide means comprise a guide channel in which the guide pin can engage, and that the depth of the guide channel progresses such that, at first engagement, the portion of the guide pin with the largest diameter engages in the guide channel, and with further engagement a portion with a smaller diameter.
