Abstract (en)

[origin: US6164440A] PCT No. PCT/EP96/05838 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 19, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 19, 1998 PCT Filed Dec. 24, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/24269 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 10, 1997The invention relates to a conveyor for individual units which comprises a frame (1) with an upper guide for at least a first rod (2) conveyed and held on said guide and with further rods (3) which also extend on the upper guide or a guide parallel thereto at a distance below the upper guide substantially parallel to the first rod (2). Strip material (4) mounted on the rods forms, between the rods (2, 3) held in the guides, loops which act as receiving pockets (5) for individual units (6). To create a conveyor with the above features which provides the items to be transported with improved protection from damage without affecting the capacity for rapid loading and unloading and for reuse, the invention proposes at least one support rod (7) which can be moved below the upper guide to be aligned parallel to the other rods (2, 3) and in the direction of the receiving pockets (5) or the individual units (6) held therein and which is in contact with the last of said pockets (5) or the item (6) held therein, and can be fixed in said position of rest.
