Abstract: A turning device (10) for a conveyance device (4) on a transfer line includes a housing (15) closed by means of a cover (30). Recesses are formed in the housing (15), into which the guide bars (43) of a semicircular-shaped turning element (36) for the conveyance device (4) mesh with positive engagement. The design of the turning device (10) allows the conveyance device (4) to be replaced without requiring access through the side of the housing (15). Furthermore, the design of the turning device (10) is particularly compact.

Abstract: A drive unit (10) for a continuous conveyance means of a transfer system has a housing part (16) comprising two side walls (17, 18), in each of which a recess (25) is formed. A bearing plate (31) is capable of being inserted into each of the recesses (25) from the top end face of the housing part (16). The drive shaft (37) of a drive wheel (38) for the conveyance mechanism is supported in the bearing plates (31). The design of the drive unit (10) according to the invention allows for universal use of the drive unit (10) combined with easy assembly of its individual parts.
