Overhead transport system able to activate the selective drawing of garment lots

Overhead transport system able to actuate the selective drawing of garment lots, comprising:

• a support rail (1) for a plurality of garment hangers, each hanger having a hook G, the support rail being provided, on the top, with a longitudinal groove (2), with a U-shaped section, having a bottom and sides;
• drawing means (7) that runs in a closed circuit along the support rail (1), said drawing means (7) being provided with a regular sequence of protruding features (7a) defining between them a sequence of hollows (7b) and therefore capable of interfering with hooks (G) of the hangers hanging on said support rail (1);
• one or more tracks (5) situated in said longitudinal groove (2), in order to contain and guide the forward motion of said drawing means (7), said one or more tracks (5) vertically sliding into said longitudinal groove (2) and said one or more tracks (5) being provided with a top stop abutment and a bottom stop abutment, and
• lifting means (4) disposed in the bottom of said longitudinal groove (2), under said one or more tracks (5), wherein
• said lifting means (4) being capable of lifting said one or more tracks (5) until said top stop abutment of said one or more tracks (5) abuts against a top stop abutment (2b) of said support rail, so that the protruding features (7a) of the drawing means (7) interfere with the hooks (G) of the hangers hanging on said support rail (1), and
• said lifting means (4) being capable of lowering said one or more tracks (5) until said bottom stop abutment of said one or more tracks (5) abuts against a bottom stop abutment (2c) of said support rail, so that the protruding features (7a) of the drawing means (7) do not interfere with the hooks (G) of the hangers hanging on said support rail (1).
