Conveyor

A conveyor comprising:

• a drivable endless conveying device having a plurality of carriers extending parallel to each other and transversely to an intended direction of movement of the drivable endless conveying device;
• a pusher device provided on at least one of said plurality of carriers and configured to move along said at least one of said plurality of carriers;
• a guide device connected to said pusher device;
• two guide rails extending to the intended direction of movement of said plurality of carriers and intersecting at at least one intersection point, said two guide rails forming passages for said guide device;
• and
• a switch device provided at the at least one intersection point and including a closing device and a cam-shaped switch, said closing device being mounted on an upper end of an arm configured to pivot about a first pin extending in a longitudinal direction of the conveyor, said cam-shaped switch being configured to pivot about a second pin extending in the longitudinal direction of the conveyor, said cam-shaped switch having two guide surfaces positioned opposite each other and configured to cooperate with said guide device such that said closing device makes a rectilinear movement to alternately close the passages.

A conveyor comprising:

• drivable endless conveying means for conveying at least one object;
• pusher means for pushing the at least one object, said pusher means provided on said drivable endless conveying means;
• guide means for guiding said pusher means, said guiding means connected to said pusher means;
• two guide rails extending to the intended direction of movement of said drivable endless conveying means and intersecting at at least one intersection point, said two guide rails forming passages for said guide means;
• and
• switch means for switching the passage for said guide means, said switch means being provided at the at least one intersection point and including closing means for alternately closing the passages and a cam-shaped switch, said cam-shaped switch being configured to cooperate with said guide means such that said closing means makes a rectilinear movement to alternately close the passages.
