  • Patent number: 10988321
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a transport device for transporting objects along a transport track having a rail defining the transport track; at least one slide that is travelably guided at the rail; a coupling element which is provided at the slide and via which the slide can be driven; a first drive unit having a first drive means for driving the slid along a first transport section of the transport track; and a second drive having a second drive means for driving the slide along a second transport section of the transport track. The coupling element is configured to be in engagement in a shape fitting manner with the first drive means and to be in engagement in a force-fitting manner with the second drive means in the region of the second transport section.
