Abstract:
A system for transferring units to/from conveying units of a rail-guided suspended conveyor system includes at least one transfer conveying device with one or more first conveying units with a rack with tines which form a receptacle for bearing an individual unit; and a suspended conveyor system with a plurality of second conveying units with a rack with tines which form a receptacle for bearing an individual unit. The system is configured such that in a transfer zone a rack of a first conveying unit of the transfer conveying device and a rack of a second conveying unit of the suspended conveyor system penetrate by meshing so with movement of the first and the second conveying unit relative to another either an individual unit initially on the rack of the first conveying unit remains on the rack of the second conveying unit, or an individual unit initially on the rack of the second conveying unit remains on the rack of the first conveying unit.

Claim (Index 18):
A method for transferring individual piece-good units to and/or from conveying units of a rail-guided suspended conveyor system, comprising the steps:\n providing a transfer system as claimed in  claim 1 ; positioning a second conveying unit of the suspended conveyor system in a transfer zone of the conveying path of the second conveying units; moving a first conveying unit of the transfer conveying device into a transfer zone of the conveying path of the first conveying units; and mutual penetration by meshing of the rack of the first conveying unit and the rack of the second conveying unit; wherein for transferring an individual piece-good unit borne on the rack of the first conveying unit onto the rack of the second conveying unit, the rack of the first conveying unit penetrates the rack of the second conveying unit from top to bottom in the direction of gravity; and/or wherein for transferring an individual piece-good unit borne on the rack of the second conveying unit onto the rack of the first conveying unit, the rack of the first conveying unit penetrates the rack of the second conveying unit counter to the direction of gravity from bottom to top.
