Abstract
Conveyor support rail attachment, comprising a plurality of attachment means arranged spaced apart along a longitudinal center axis, where every second attachment means is arranged on a left side of the center axis and every other attachment means is arranged on a right side of the center axis, and where each attachment means is provided with a bearing surface adapted to bear against a side section of a support rail, such that the support rail is supported only on one side at each attachment means. The advantage of the invention is that a support rail can easily be mounted to and removed from the conveyor support rail attachment, and further that the bearing surface between the support rail and the attachment means can be minimized. This allows for a support rail that is easy to clean.
