Abstract
The apparatus for driving a divider element which is slidable linearly and/or in curves, comprising a drive assembly guided by two running wheels on a running surface of a rail, the drive assembly having a drive shaft driven by an electric motor and a gearing, the drive shaft being coupled by a toothed gear to a toothed belt connected to the rail, and the drive assembly being connectable by a load shaft to the divider element. The drive assembly having a traveling assembly unit with a traveling assembly body having a head piece detachably connected to a drive unit, wherein the electric motor, and the gearing are arranged such that the drive shaft emerges vertically upward from the drive assembly so as to enable the toothed gear mounted on the drive shaft to engage the toothed belt retained above the running surface of the rail.
