Abstract
A conveyor device is disclosed having a support surface, a link chain pivoting parallel to the support surface, and support elements arranged on the links. The links rest on a guide through associated rollers at least in a bend of the guide. The rollers are arranged in the guide such that the flanks of the links run along the rollers. The flanks define an inward curved surface when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the support surface. The radius of the curved surface corresponds with the radius of the bend in the guide.
