A loading station for an overhead conveyor system, comprising - a conveyor device to convey the transport bags, - a feed device to feed transport products along a product feed direction into the transport bags, characterized by - a guard device mounted to the conveyor device, which allows an opening of the transport bag to be individually adapted to the size of the transport material, wherein the deflector device comprises -- a mounting unit with which the guard device is mounted to the conveyor device of the overhead conveyor system, -- an impact plate designed to be separate from a transport bag, to support a rear wall of the transport bag when being loaded with a product to be transported, wherein the impact plate may be deflected depending on the size of the product to be transported and enables the rear wall of the transport bag to give way such that an opening of the transport bag is enlarged when being loaded with a product to be transported, when the product to be transported is so large that it cannot fall automatically through the opening of the transport bag into the transport bag as a result of gravity, wherein a restoring force is impressed on the impact plate by the deflection of the impact plate by the product to be transported, wherein the impact plate is automatically displaced back into the starting position as a result of the restoring force and the opening of the transport bag is thereby returned into the starting position as soon as the product to be transported has fallen through the opening of the transport bag into the latter, -- a connection unit which movably connects the impact plate to the mounting unit. - a conveyor device to convey the transport bags, - a feed device to feed transport products along a product feed direction into the transport bags, - a guard device mounted to the conveyor device, which allows an opening of the transport bag to be individually adapted to the size of the transport material, wherein the deflector device comprises -- a mounting unit with which the guard device is mounted to the conveyor device of the overhead conveyor system, -- an impact plate designed to be separate from a transport bag, to support a rear wall of the transport bag when being loaded with a product to be transported, wherein the impact plate may be deflected depending on the size of the product to be transported and enables the rear wall of the transport bag to give way such that an opening of the transport bag is enlarged when being loaded with a product to be transported, when the product to be transported is so large that it cannot fall automatically through the opening of the transport bag into the transport bag as a result of gravity, wherein a restoring force is impressed on the impact plate by the deflection of the impact plate by the product to be transported, wherein the impact plate is automatically displaced back into the starting position as a result of the restoring force and the opening of the transport bag is thereby returned into the starting position as soon as the product to be transported has fallen through the opening of the transport bag into the latter, -- a connection unit which movably connects the impact plate to the mounting unit. -- a mounting unit with which the guard device is mounted to the conveyor device of the overhead conveyor system, -- an impact plate designed to be separate from a transport bag, to support a rear wall of the transport bag when being loaded with a product to be transported, wherein the impact plate may be deflected depending on the size of the product to be transported and enables the rear wall of the transport bag to give way such that an opening of the transport bag is enlarged when being loaded with a product to be transported, when the product to be transported is so large that it cannot fall automatically through the opening of the transport bag into the transport bag as a result of gravity, wherein a restoring force is impressed on the impact plate by the deflection of the impact plate by the product to be transported, wherein the impact plate is automatically displaced back into the starting position as a result of the restoring force and the opening of the transport bag is thereby returned into the starting position as soon as the product to be transported has fallen through the opening of the transport bag into the latter, -- a connection unit which movably connects the impact plate to the mounting unit.
