Conveyor device, especially suspended conveyor device

A conveying arrangement, in particular a suspension-type conveying arrangement, having rails (3) for guiding conveyable-article carriers (1), equipped with running rollers (9), along a conveying route, having a drive belt (15) which is driven in circulation about diverting means, is guided along the conveying route, at least in certain regions, by means of a guide arrangement (19) and has driver elements (17) which are arranged on it and, in a driving position, are suitable, and envisaged, for driving rail-guided conveyable-article carriers (1) along the conveying route, and having means (29) for stopping conveyable-article carriers in a build-up region of the conveying route as the drive belt (15) continues running, it being the case that the conveying arrangement has position-changing means which can be activated in a controlled manner and are intended for transferring driver elements (17) of the drive belt (15) from their driving position into a non-driving position in the build-up region, it being possible for the driver elements (17) located in the non-driving position, if appropriate, only to engage to a slight extent, if at all and the easily yielding action with built-up conveyable-article carriers (1), characterized in that the position-changing means have controllable means for changing the guide path of the drive belt (15) which are designed for diverting the drive belt (15) in the build-up region of the conveying route optionally from a path in which the driver elements are guided into the driving position into a path in which the driver elements are guided into the non-driving position.
