Abstract: Conveyors for clothes hangers are provided comprising an endless chain constructed from a plurality of chain links and runs between a first return axis at one end of the conveyor and a second return axis at the other end of the conveyor, so that the chain, guided around the return axes, is divided into upper and lower portions, the hanging hooks of the clothes hangers resting in depressions in the chain links constituting the upper chain portion, and a drive motor driving the chain in the desired direction. The chain portion is arranged to be deflected laterally by deflecting members so that a deflected part of the lower chain portion runs parallel and laterally displaced in relation to its upper portion, and the drive wheel is in driving engagement with the deflected part of the lower chain portion.
