Abstract

A turning device (10) for a conveyance device (4) on a transfer line includes a housing (15) closed by means of a cover (30). Recesses are formed in the housing (15), into which the guide bars (43) of a semicircular-shaped turning element (36) for the conveyance device (4) mesh with positive engagement. The design of the turning device (10) allows the conveyance device (4) to be replaced without requiring access through the side of the housing (15). Furthermore, the design of the turning device (10) is particularly compact.
