Abstract: A conveying device for conveyed goods, comprising a conveying rake having at least one prong, and a first drive assembly which is operatively connected to the conveying rake. The conveying rake is drivable by the first drive assembly so as to perform a reciprocating movement in the conveying direction and to perform a reciprocating movement in a penetration direction. The conveying device furthermore has a mating rake having at least one prong, and a second drive assembly which is operatively connected to the mating rake. The mating rake is displaceable in the conveying direction in relation to the conveying rake, so as to clamp conveyed goods between the prong of the conveying rake and the assigned prong of the mating rake. A method for operating a conveying device for conveyed goods is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a conveying device for conveyed goods, comprising a conveying rake (2) having at least one prong (21), and a first drive assembly (3) which is operatively connected to the conveying rake (2), wherein the conveying rake (2) by means of the first drive assembly (3) is drivable so as to perform a reciprocating movement in the conveying direction (I) and to perform a reciprocating movement in the penetration direction (II), wherein the conveying device (1) furthermore has a mating rake (4) having at least one prong (40), and a second drive assembly (5) which is operatively connected to the mating rake (4), wherein the mating rake (4) by means of the second drive assembly is displaceable in the conveying direction (I) in relation to the conveying rake (2), so as to clamp conveyed goods between the prong (21) of the conveying rake and the assigned prong (40) of the mating rake (4). The invention furthermore relates to a method for operating a conveying device (1) for conveyed goods.
