A pocket-overhead conveyor system comprising: an overhead conveyor for transporting pockets along a guiding rail in a downstream conveying direction , wherein the pockets are hanging perpendicularly beneath the guiding rail , and wherein the pockets are orientated substantially horizontally in a loading position; a loading station comprising a deflecting device , wherein the deflecting device comprises an upstream end and a downstream end , and is arranged beneath the guiding rail of the overhead conveyor , wherein the pockets get in contact with the deflecting device during the transport in the conveying direction for rotating the pockets at least initially during a continued transport in the conveying direction from the perpendicular transport position into the substantially horizontal loading position; and a pocket , wherein the pocket comprises: a suspension device for pivotally coupling the pocket to the guiding rail of the overhead conveyor; a substantially closed back side which comprises, in the perpendicular transport position, an upper portion and a lower portion , wherein the lower portion is adjacent to the upper portion in a longitudinal direction of the back side ; a cover formed open or substantially closed; a substantially closed front side ; and a substantially closed base ; characterized in that the back side is formed wider than the cover , the front side , and the base , respectively, so that the back side comprises at least one wing section projecting laterally relative to the front side , which wing section abuts, during transport of the pocket through the loading station , against the deflecting device for rotating the pocket and which lies on the deflecting device in the loading position. an overhead conveyor for transporting pockets along a guiding rail in a downstream conveying direction , wherein the pockets are hanging perpendicularly beneath the guiding rail , and wherein the pockets are orientated substantially horizontally in a loading position; a loading station comprising a deflecting device , wherein the deflecting device comprises an upstream end and a downstream end , and is arranged beneath the guiding rail of the overhead conveyor , wherein the pockets get in contact with the deflecting device during the transport in the conveying direction for rotating the pockets at least initially during a continued transport in the conveying direction from the perpendicular transport position into the substantially horizontal loading position; and a pocket , wherein the pocket comprises: a suspension device for pivotally coupling the pocket to the guiding rail of the overhead conveyor; a substantially closed back side which comprises, in the perpendicular transport position, an upper portion and a lower portion , wherein the lower portion is adjacent to the upper portion in a longitudinal direction of the back side ; a cover formed open or substantially closed; a substantially closed front side ; and a substantially closed base ; a suspension device for pivotally coupling the pocket to the guiding rail of the overhead conveyor; a substantially closed back side which comprises, in the perpendicular transport position, an upper portion and a lower portion , wherein the lower portion is adjacent to the upper portion in a longitudinal direction of the back side ; a cover formed open or substantially closed; a substantially closed front side ; and a substantially closed base ; characterized in that the back side is formed wider than the cover , the front side , and the base , respectively, so that the back side comprises at least one wing section projecting laterally relative to the front side , which wing section abuts, during transport of the pocket through the loading station , against the deflecting device for rotating the pocket and which lies on the deflecting device in the loading position. <EOS>
