Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of fixedly locking support railings (2) along a conveyor path. The support railings (2) are of the type which has a circular cross section and are mounted in brackets (1) in one or more rows. The fixedly locking takes place by means of a tool (4) with two shanks (5) which enter into engagement with the support railing (2). A locking pin (8) is placed between the upper side (9) of the tool (4) and the bracket (1). The tool (4) is thereafter turned so that the locking pin (8) follows the periphery of the support railing (2) until the upper side of the tool (4) abuts against the bracket (1). The locking pin (8) has then reached a locking position. The method is re-usable.
