Abstract: A curved conveyor section allows the transport of articles guided between two guide rails, the spacing (e) between the two guide rails is adjustable. At least one of the two guide rails is elastically deformable, an adjustment assembly is designed to displace and deform the elastically deformable guide rail so as to provide it with a specific curvature which depends on its position. Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes, for each guide rail (7), a deforming plate (9, 9?) which is elastically deformable, and the guide rail (7) is rigidly secured to the deforming plate.

Abstract: The curved conveyor section allows the transport of articles guided between two guide rails (7) and comprises means for adjusting the spacing (e) between the two guide rails. At least one of the two guide rails is elastically deformable and the adjusting means are designed to displace and deform said elastically deformable guide rail so as to provide it with a specific curvature which depends on its position. Preferably, the adjusting means comprise, for each guide rail (7), a deforming plate (9, 9′) which is elastically deformable, and the guide rail (7) is rigidly secured to said deforming plate.

Abstract: The conveyor comprises two spaced-apart under-neck guides (3) along which articles are designed to be transported by being suspended via their collars (2) on the under-neck guides (3), and also a longitudinal stop (6) which is mounted above the under-neck guides (3) and which serves to limit the up stroke available to the articles between the under-neck guides (3). In a preferred embodiment, the top abutment is in the form of a stop (6) having an abutment-forming bottom longitudinal face (6a) in which there is formed a longitudinal central channel (6b) of width (L) that is less than the diameter (D) of an article at its top end (1d).
