Conveyor device for advancing work-pieces through a processing zone for the surface treatment of the work-pieces
First Claim
1. A conveyor device for advancing work-pieces through a processing zone for the surface treatment of the work-pieces, comprising:
- a conveyor which moves the work-pieces mounted on a respective mounting device into the processing zone, advances the workpieces through the processing zone and then removes the workpieces from the processing zone,wherein;
the mounting devices each comprise a respective base part which is moved in a translatory manner in a direction of conveyance and a rotary part upon which the work-piece is arranged and which is mounted in rotatable manner on the base part,the conveyor comprises at least one drive device by means of which at least one respective directly driven mounting device is adapted to be driven directly for movement in the direction of conveyance, andby virtue of contact between the directly driven mounting device and at least one indirectly driven mounting device, the movement of the directly driven mounting device is transmitted to the indirectly driven mounting device in the direction of conveyance.

Abstract
The invention relates to a conveyor device which is used to transport work-pieces, especially the work-pieces of motor vehicle bodies, through a processing area for surface treatment of said work-pieces, comprising a conveyor which brings the work-pieces which are respectively maintained by a holder into the processing area; transports them through said area and removes them therefrom. The inventive conveyor device requires less maintenance in comparison with known conveyor devices. The holders respectively comprise a base part which moves in a translatory movement along a conveyor device and a rotating part on which the work-piece is arranged and which is held in such a way that it is rotatable on the base part. The conveyor comprises at least one drive device enabling at least one directly driven respective holder to be driven directly in a movement along the conveyor device. The movement of the directly driven holder is transferred to an indirectly driven holder as a result of the contact between the directly driven holder and said at least one indirectly driven holder.
