Abstract:
A hanging and conveying device comprising a slide slidingly coupled to a guide to move along the guide in a given advancement direction; and a gondola hanging from the slide and comprising an arched member having a first axis parallel to the advancement direction and adjustable in position about the first axis, and coupling means carried by the arched member to engage, during operation, a floor of a vehicle body arranged through the arched member; the coupling means comprising two coplanar longitudinal members provided with pins to couple with and support the vehicle body, and positioning means to cause the pins to be arrangeable on the longitudinal members in a number of selectively engageable alternative positions, to result in different types of vehicle bodies being selective mountable on the arched member.

Abstract:
An assembly line, wherein at least one operating branch of fixed length accommodates a number of platforms aligned with one another and with a given travelling direction; each platform being designed to receive a respective vehicle body, feed it in the travelling direction, and subject it to a succession of n assembly operations along the operating branch; each platform being designed for connection to at least one longitudinal extension to assume a total length, which depends on the length of the body carried, and ranges between a minimum length equal to the length of the platform with no extension, and a maximum length; and the length of the operating branch being equal to n times the maximum length.
