CONVEYING DEVICE

A conveying device (10) includes a first drive body (12), a second drive body (14) and a lifting body (42) for receiving a payload. A first lifting link (24) is pivotably articulated to the first drive body and a second lifting link (28) is pivotably articulated to the second drive body, wherein the lifting links are functionally connected to the lifting body so that a relative movement of the drive bodies can be converted into a movement of the lifting body along a lifting axis (52). A first guide link (26) is pivotably articulated to the first drive body, and a second guide link (30) is pivotably articulated to the second drive body. The guide links are connected to a first guide element, and the lifting body has a second guide element. The guide elements form a linear guide with a guide axis which coincides with the lifting axis.
