The transport element receives a spherical, cylindrical or egg-shaped foodstuff, in particular an article that is an egg, and transports it along a transport route and comprises a plurality of attachments arranged adjacent to each other along a longitudinal extension. The transport element is formed as a channel-shaped body (1) and has a receiving space (2) that is curved in the form of a circular part and surrounds an angle of at least 180 °, as viewed in cross section, The section is composed of a slot-shaped opening (3) in a channel-shaped region curved into a part of a circle, the slot-shaped openings extending parallel to each other and forming longitudinal edges on both sides, respectively Extends perpendicularly to the longitudinal extension of the channel-like body (2) up to the piece (5) to form a longitudinal peripheral edge. [Selection] Figure 1輸送要素は、球状、円筒状又は卵型の食材、特に卵である物品を受け入れ且つ搬送ルートに沿って輸送し、長手延長部に沿って互いに隣接して配置された複数の取付け部を備える。輸送要素は、通路状の本体(1)として形成され、断面視されるように、円形の一部の形に湾曲し、少なくとも180°の角度を囲む受入れ空間(2)を有し、前記取付け部は、円形の一部の形状に湾曲した通路状の領域におけるスロット形の開口(3)に構成され、スロット形の開口は互いに平行に延び、両側上で夫々長手方向縁を形成する長手交差片(5)まで、通路状の本体(2)の長手延長部に直交して延び、長手周縁部を形成する。【選択図】図1
