OVERHEAD CONVEYING DEVICE HAVING SUPPORT FRAMEWORK MODULES
First Claim
1. An overhead conveying device for integration in an assembly plant in order to transport components, said overhead conveying device comprising:
- a supporting framework having a length greater than 5 m and a width greater than 2 m;
a conveying device mounted on the supporting framework, wherein the supporting framework and the conveying device form a conveying corridor, in which components can be transported in a direction of the conveying corridor from an input point to an output point, and wherein; and
support columns supporting the supporting framework wherein a free space suitable for component assembly and/or component transport and which can be walked and/or driven through is formed beneath the supporting framework wherein the supporting framework is formed from at least two supporting framework modules arranged one after another in the direction of the conveying corridor.

Abstract
The invention relates to an overhead conveying device (01, 30, 52, 55) for integration in an assembly plant in order to transport vehicle components (31) by means of a conveying device (33) arranged on the overhead conveying device (01, 30, 52, 55), said overhead conveying device having a supporting framework (03, 38). The supporting framework (03, 38) has a length greater than 5 m and a width greater than 2 m, and the conveying device (33) can be mounted at the supporting framework (03, 38). The supporting framework (03, 38) and the conveying device (33) form a conveying corridor (32), in which the vehicle components (31) can be transported from an input point to an output point, and the supporting framework (03, 38) is borne above the floor (47) of the assembly plant by bearing means (39, 48). A free space, which is suitable for component assembly and/or for component transport and which can be walked and/or driven through, is formed between the underside of the supporting framework (03, 38) and the upper side of the floor (47) by the bearing means (39, 48). The supporting framework (03, 38) is formed from at least two supporting framework modules (03a, 03b, 03c, 38a, 38b) arranged one after another in the direction of the conveying corridor (32).
