A loading station for automatically loading a primary load carrier, preferably a rolling adapter, of an overhead conveyor with a secondary load carrier, preferably with a hanger, for hanging goods, wherein the primary load carrier, which is substantially oriented vertical during transport, is supported movable in a guided manner by means of a pair of travelling rollers within a transport rail of the overhead conveyor, wherein the loading station comprises: an accumulation line configured to accumulate a plurality of primary load carriers, which are movable in a conveying direction along the accumulation line, along the conveying direction one behind the other; a separating device, which is arranged laterally to the accumulation line, comprising: first and second stopping elements, wherein the first and second stopping elements are respectively supported in a movable manner transversally to the accumulation line so that each of the stopping elements, when being located in a stopping position, is moved into a conveying path of the primary load carriers for accumulating the primary load carriers, and, when being located in a release position, is moved out of the conveying path for allowing movement of the primary load carriers in the conveying direction; and a switch; a control unit; and a feeding device arranged laterally to the accumulation line, and configured to guide a hanger-shaped head portion of the secondary load carrier through a transport opening in the primary load carrier for loading the primary load carrier when the primary load carrier is located in a loading position corresponding to a downstream accumulation position of the accumulation line defined by the stopping position of the first stopping element; wherein the switch is arranged oppositely to the feeding device so that the primary load carrier in the loading position is located between the switch and the feeding device, wherein the switch is moved by the secondary load carrier, preferably by means of contact, from a normal position into a separating position as soon as the secondary load carrier has passed through the transport opening in the primary load carrier, and transmits a separating signal to the control unit; and wherein the control unit causes, when the control unit receives the separating signal, the loaded primary load carrier to exit the loading position in the conveying direction. an accumulation line configured to accumulate a plurality of primary load carriers, which are movable in a conveying direction along the accumulation line, along the conveying direction one behind the other; a separating device, which is arranged laterally to the accumulation line, comprising: first and second stopping elements, wherein the first and second stopping elements are respectively supported in a movable manner transversally to the accumulation line so that each of the stopping elements, when being located in a stopping position, is moved into a conveying path of the primary load carriers for accumulating the primary load carriers, and, when being located in a release position, is moved out of the conveying path for allowing movement of the primary load carriers in the conveying direction; and a switch; first and second stopping elements, wherein the first and second stopping elements are respectively supported in a movable manner transversally to the accumulation line so that each of the stopping elements, when being located in a stopping position, is moved into a conveying path of the primary load carriers for accumulating the primary load carriers, and, when being located in a release position, is moved out of the conveying path for allowing movement of the primary load carriers in the conveying direction; and a switch; a control unit; and a feeding device arranged laterally to the accumulation line, and configured to guide a hanger-shaped head portion of the secondary load carrier through a transport opening in the primary load carrier for loading the primary load carrier when the primary load carrier is located in a loading position corresponding to a downstream accumulation position of the accumulation line defined by the stopping position of the first stopping element; wherein the switch is arranged oppositely to the feeding device so that the primary load carrier in the loading position is located between the switch and the feeding device, wherein the switch is moved by the secondary load carrier, preferably by means of contact, from a normal position into a separating position as soon as the secondary load carrier has passed through the transport opening in the primary load carrier, and transmits a separating signal to the control unit; and wherein the control unit causes, when the control unit receives the separating signal, the loaded primary load carrier to exit the loading position in the conveying direction.
