A support and guide element for at least one conveyor with articulated modules for handling three-dimensional items, adapted to create at least one modular track for guiding said conveyor, and comprising:
- at least one curvilinear body, comprising:
- a plurality of rails comprising at least one upper surface which is configured to define a sliding plane for at least one lower flat portion of the modules of the conveyor when moved;
- and
- a base, comprising:
- at least one lower surface which is configured to define a connecting plane parallel to the sliding plane, and adapted to be constrained to and rest on at least one flat surface of a support structure;
- wherein the rails of said plurality of rails depart from said base, and said rails are separated from each other by a portion of an upper surface of said base, opposite to said lower surface,
- wherein said plurality of rails are constrained to or are in one piece with said base,
- wherein said base is made of a polymeric material;
- and
- connecting means for removably connecting said base to the support structure, which are configured to keep said base connected to said support structure, and to prevent at least said base from moving relative to said support structure, in a first direction perpendicular to said sliding plane and prevent a planarity of the sliding plane from being affected when said support and guide element is connected to the support structure,
- wherein the connecting means comprise:
- a plurality of first connecting members which are provided in first preset portions of said base and configured to allow at least said portions of said base of the support element to move relative to said support structure, in directions coplanar to said sliding plane and prevent at least said portions of said base of the support element from moving in said first direction perpendicular to said sliding plane, when said support and guide element is connected to the support structure;
- and
- at least one second connecting member provided in at least one second preset portion of said base and configured to prevent at least said second preset portion of said base of the support element from moving relative to said support structure in directions coplanar to said sliding plane and to prevent at least said second preset portion of said base of the support element from moving in said first direction perpendicular to said sliding plane, when said support and guide element is connected to the support structure.
