Suspended conveyer device comprising a re-routing station

A suspended conveyer device for conveying supports (7) for goods to be conveyed along conveyer paths (54, 58), comprising a running rail arrangement (52, 56) with running rails (52, 56) which are associated with the conveyer paths and on which the supports (7) for goods to be conveyed can be guided,

• whereby the supports (7) for goods to be conveyed in each case comprise a supporting element (15) having two running rollers (17), projecting from the supporting element on opposite sides, to roll on running rails (52, 56) associated with the conveyer paths (54, 58),
• whereby in each case at least one running rail (52 or, respectively, 56) is assigned to the conveyer paths and has a running roller guide groove (19) which is open at the top to guide supports for goods to be conveyed which, in each case, as based on the conveying direction, are suspended by a left or right running roller (17) on the running rail, engage with this running roller in the guide groove, and, with the supporting element (15), extend downward into a conveyer path clearance laterally beside the running rail,
• whereby a rerouting station (50) is provided, which is constructed to selectively reroute supports (7) for goods to be conveyed from a first conveyer path (54) to a second conveyer path (58) or to leave them on the first conveyer path (54), and to selectively reroute supports (7) for goods to be conveyed from the second conveyer path (58) to the first conveyer path (54) or to leave them on the second conveyer path (58), whereby rerouting between the first (54) and the second (58) conveyer path provides for a change from suspension of the supports (7) for goods to be conveyed by the left suspension of the supports (7) for goods to be conveyed by the right running rollers (17) on a relevant running rail or, respectively, a change from suspension of the supports (7) for goods to be conveyed by the right running rollers (17) on a relevant running rail to suspension of the supports (7) for goods to be conveyed by the left running rollers (17) on a relevant running rail,
• whereby the first conveyer path (54) comprises a first running rail path (60) leading continuously through the rerouting station (50), and the second conveyer path (58) comprises a second running rail path (62) leading continuously through the rerouting station (50), whereby, of the first and the second running rail path, one (60) is a running rail path associated with left running rollers (17) and the other (62) is a running rail path associated with right running rollers (17), characterized
• in that the first conveyer path (54) and the second conveyer path (58) in the rerouting station (50) run over a decision path which is common to these conveyer paths and is associated with the first and the second running rail path or a decision location which is common to these conveyer paths and is associated with the first and the second running rail path (FIG. 5),
• in that in the rerouting station (50), in the area of the decision location or within the decision path, the supports for goods to be conveyed are in actual or potential guiding engagement and, possibly, supporting and running-roller rolling engagement both with a first running rail path (60) of the first conveyer path (54) and with a second running rail path (62) of the second conveyer path (58),
• in that, as they pass the decision path or the decision location, the supports for goods to be conveyed can be selectively allocated to the first (54) or the second (58) conveyer path for the further conveyance, and
• in that the first running path (52) and the second running rail path (56) run toward each other in a curved shape in the direction of the decision path or the decision location and, in the area of the decision path or the decision location, have a lateral spacing which leaves a common conveyer path clearance free.
