Transporting device for transporting a laboratory diagnostic vessel carrier
First Claim
1. A transporting device for transporting a laboratory diagnostic vessel carrier from a first line portion to a second line portion of a conveying line, wherein the first line portion is arranged above the second line portion with respect to a direction of gravity, the transporting device comprising:
- a first transporting portion; and
a second transporting portion, wherein the first transporting portion is configured to be connected to the first line portion and the second transporting portion is configured to be connected to the second line portion, wherein the first transporting portion extends in a first direction and the second transporting portion extends in a second direction different from the first direction, wherein the first transporting portion and the second transporting portion are configured to transport the laboratory diagnostic vessel carrier exclusively by gravity, wherein first direction comprises at least a first component and the second direction comprises at least a second component, and wherein the second component is opposite to the first component.

Abstract
A transporting device for transporting a laboratory diagnostic vessel carrier from a first line portion to a second line portion of a conveying line is disclosed. The first line portion is above the second line portion with respect to gravity. The transporting device comprises first and second transporting portions. The first transporting portion is connected to the first line portion and the second transporting portion is connected to the second line portion. The first transporting portion extends in a first direction and the second transporting portion extends in a second direction different from the first direction. The first and second transporting portions transport the laboratory diagnostic vessel carrier by gravity. The first direction comprises at least a first component and the second direction comprises at least a second component. The second component is opposite to the first component. Further, a conveying line comprising such a transporting device is disclosed.
