Abstract: A transport device for transporting and redirecting piece goods in one plane wherein the piece goods are supported on a grid of driven roller bodies protruding in part through a cover. A grid is formed of transport rollers for the purpose of obtaining a redirection of goods to be transported without producing a relative shifting between the cover and the support carrying the roller bodies and at the same time the contact pressure between the rollers and goods is minimal. The transport rollers are arranged in a cylindrical housing and are driven by a drive motor via drive shafts and friction pulleys connected by friction with the transport rollers.
