Abstract
A transport system for transporting and/or positioning objects along a transport section, wherein the transport system includes at least one rotatable transport body having at least one curved transport path which is delimited by at least one curve flank pair and, as seen in the linear transport direction, has at least one positive curved transport path pitch throughout and into which there can engage or there engages at least one pusher dog of a carrier that is movable along the transport section, wherein the at least one transport body has at least one entry region for the entry of the at least one pusher dog into the curved transport path. A transport body for a transport system, wherein the transport body has an entry end and an exit end, at least one ascending curved transport path which is delimited by at least one curve flank pair and has at least one positive curved transport path pitch, and at least one entry region for the entry of at least one pusher dog of a carrier of the transport system into the curved transport path.
