Abstract:
A conveyable-article carrier for a suspended conveying apparatus having running rails and a frictional drive belt, the conveyable-article carrier comprising:a carrier body; a two-armed lever mounted pivotably on the carrier body; a coupling element provided on a first lever arm of the two-armed lever, for bringing into drive connection the frictional belt; and a separating device actuable by a second lever arm of the two-arm lever, wherein the two-arm lever is movable between a drive position, for coupling to the frictional belt, and a neutral position, for disengaging from the frictional belt, the separating device being actuated under a build-up wherein, pressure by adjacent conveyable-article carriers in a build-up region of the conveying apparatus operate the two-armed lever to release the drive connection.
