  • Patent number: 11084659
    Abstract: A transport device includes an entry finger that guides a conveyor as it carries items thereon in a transport direction from the rear deflector to the front deflector. The conveyor slides along a sliding strip that is supported by a profile element that is supported by a support. The entry finger guides the conveyor around the front deflector, where the conveyor reverses direction. The entry finger couples to the transport device by a detachable connection. The detachable connection is either a locking connection that connects the entry finger to the sliding strip, an insertion connection that connects the entry finger to the profiled element, or a detachable connection formed by a quick fastener between the support and the profiled element and the finger.
