Abstract

A switch of a transport system for a movable transport element includes a main track and a secondary track branching off the main track. The movable transport element can be guided from a transition region in which the secondary track branches off from the main track. Devices for increasing a switching force to guide a moveable transport element along the main track or transfer the movable transport element to the secondary track are provided in the transition region.
