Abstract
Guide rail for an easy to clean conveyor, where the guide rail is adapted to have a straight position, in which position the guide rail is adapted to support a conveyor chain, and a folded position spaced apart from the straight position, where the guide rail comprises an upper support part adapted to glidingly support a conveyor chain, and a lower attachment part adapted to attach the guide rail to a holder, where the lower attachment part is adapted to allow the guide rail to pivot in the holder between the straight position and the folded position. In this way, a guide rail that allows for an easy cleaning of a conveyor is provided for. Such conveyors are e.g. used in the food industry.
