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
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;
wherein the supporting framework modules are designed in the manner of a spatial truss and include longitudinally and transversely oriented and diagonal and upright interconnected supporting beam elements having a closed tubular cross-section.

Abstract
An overhead conveying device for integration in an assembly plant in order to transport components, said overhead conveying device having a supporting framework and a conveying device mounted on the supporting framework. The supporting framework and the conveying device form a conveying corridor, in which the components can be transported in a direction of the conveying corridor from an input point to an output point. The device further includes support columns supporting the support framework. A free space, which is suitable for component assembly and/or component transport and which can be walked and/or driven through, is formed beneath the supporting framework. The supporting framework is formed from at least two supporting framework modules arranged one after another in the direction of the conveying corridor.
