Abstract: A branching and joining apparatus for use in an automatic carrying system including an electromotive carrier adapted to move along a main rail and at least one sub-rail, said apparatus comprising movable rails located at a location where a branching or joining operation takes place, said movable rails being positively locked at one of a ''''straight-forward'''' and a ''''branching and joining'''' positions with a spring substantially compressed, or at the other of said positions with the spring substantially stretched. Said main rail and sub-rail are associated with means for detecting the position of the movable rails.
