Patent ID: 8256062

Claim:
A device comprising a guide having a first pair of substantially parallel running surfaces, which are placed along a first track at a lateral distance apart, and a second pair of substantially parallel running surfaces, which are placed along a second track at a lateral distance apart, wherein the first and second pair of running surfaces are connected to side walls extending transversely to the respective first and second pair of running surfaces, wherein the second pair of running surfaces, at a crossing or junction, extends transversely to the first pair of running surfaces, and the device further comprising at least one carrier displaceable over either one of the first and second pair of running surfaces, which carrier comprises a bearing axle, extending transversely to the running surfaces of each of the first and second pair of running surfaces, for fastening of a load, which bearing axle extends between the running surfaces of each of the first and second pair of running surfaces, wherein the device comprises, close to the crossing or junction, a transport mechanism, which is movable between a take-up position in the first track, for load-bearing engagement with the carrier, and a delivery position in the second track, for release of the carrier, wherein the transport mechanism comprises a supporting body, which is pivotable about a pivot axle which extends perpendicular to the running surfaces of the first and second pair of running surfaces, wherein the carrier is situated between the side walls and the pivot axle is mounted close to the crossing or junction along an outer side of the side walls.
