Abstract
A conveyor table for displacing articles along a transporting surface includes a support construction and substantially rotation-symmetrical conveyor members, the conveyor members being suspended for rotation about axes thereof relative to the support construction, circumferential portions of the conveyor members defining the plane of transport. The direction of transport of the conveyor members is adjusted by rotating said conveyor member relative to the support construction about a line perpendicular to the plane of transport. A guard includes substantially circular openings, through which openings extend corresponding conveyor members. The guard screens the system for operating and driving the conveyor members from the user and the articles to be transported and makes it possible to arrange to the conveyor members at a relatively great distance from one another.
