Deflecting device for a conveyor, comprising at least one profiled element (10) and deflecting devices (25) and in which a continuous conveyor chain is driven in the profiled element and the said deflecting devices. The profiled element comprises a first guide (11, 11′) for the motion of the chain in the direction of a deflecting device and a second guide (12, 12′) for the motion of the chain away from the deflecting device. The said at least one deflecting device has a third guide (26, 29, 40) on a pair of mutually opposing wall elements (25) actively connectable to the first and second guides and comprises a part (30″, 30″) which reverses the motional direction of the chain. Each wall element has a fixture device (30), configured in one piece therewith, for snapping-in of the guide/slide element on both sides of the conveyor.
A deflecting device for a conveyor which has a continuous conveyor chain driven by a drive device in a conveyor track, and at least one profiled element and deflecting devices, in which each of said at least one profiled element comprises a first guide for the motion of the chain in the direction of a deflecting device and a second guide for the motion of the chain away from the deflecting device, and the deflecting device has a third guide configured on a pair of mutually opposing wall elements and actively connectable to said first and second guides and comprising a part which reverses the motional direction of the chain, said part which reverses the motional direction of the chain having a pair of fixtures on both sides of the conveyor chain and forming an integral part with the said wall elements, and snap-in guide elements on said fixture.
The deflecting device according to claim wherein said first pair of arms of the guide element has outer ends of reduced thickness, which form a connecting part to a slide rail on the extension part.
