Abstract

The invention relates to a conveyor provided with a frame and with at least one carrier guided by a guide mechanism, which can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the conveyor by a driving mechanism. At least some of the carriers support sliding pieces, which can be moved with respect to the carriers in question by a control mechanism, in a direction transversely to the intended direction of movement of the carriers during operation, so as to move objects to be transported with the conveyor during operation. The carriers are guided by a single elongated guide mechanism, while a sliding piece is provided with a receptacle which is open at its bottom side. The sliding piece is movable with respect to a carrier(s), between a first position, in which the receptacle is closed by a closing mechanism connected to a carrier(s), and a second position, in which the receptacle in the sliding piece is located beside the closing mechanism and beside the guide mechanism.
