Abstract
An arrangement on a conveyor of the type which comprises a flexible chain whereupon objects, e.g. parallelepipedic packing containers, are conveyed. The conveyor comprises guide rails (4) located on either side of the chain (1) which steer the packing container. In curves the guide rails are substituted on the one side by a curve disc (5) having a sloping steering surface (8) which acts upon the packing container outwards against the guide rails located on the opposite side of the conveyor. As a result packing containers of different sizes can be conveyed on the conveyor without the conveyor needing adjustment.
