Abstract: A conveying device (1) has conveying carts (2) arranged one behind another and spaced apart by an interspace (4). One conveying cart (2) has a cover (6) and another has a cross-belt conveyor (8) for conveying material transverse to the conveying direction. The cover (6) covers the interspace (4) between the conveying carts (2) so that the cover (6) of the one conveying cart (2) is under the upper run (21) of the transverse belt (10) of the other conveying cart (2). When negotiating curves, the cover (6) engages between an underside (22) of the upper run (21) and a first support plane (20) to hinder the transverse belt (10) from moving in the transverse conveying direction. When travelling straight ahead the cover (6) engages between the first support plane (20) and a second support plane (24) to permit movement of the transverse belt (10) in the transverse conveying direction.

Abstract: A conveyor for the sorting of mixed cargo, especially of packages, small packets, containers and pieces of luggage, includes Carts (5) coupled to each other and each movable along Running Rails (9) and having an Undercarriage (6). Support Elements (12) are arranged on the Undercarriage (6) and spaced apart from each other in the Direction of Motion (F). A Tilting Axle (4) is mounted on the Support Elements (12) and runs in the Direction of Motion (F) for supporting through a Lever (13) a Carrying Tray (3) that can be swiveled out of a transport position that is generally horizontal into a tilted position for the lateral delivery of Mixed Cargo (2) into a predetermined target station. A Sliding Element (16) is connected in a movable fashion with the end of the Lever (13) turned away from the Carrying Tray (3) and guided between and at the Support Elements (12) crosswise to the Direction of Motion (F), for carrying out the tilting movement.

Abstract: A sorting conveyor with a tiltable supporting tray which is swivelable from a horizontal transporting position to a position at an angle to the horizontal by a tilting movement about a tilting axle extending in the transposing direction. The supporting tray is swivelable by means of a tipping mechanism arranged on a driven car, the car being used to deliver transported goods which are loaded at a pick-up station. The swiveling of the supporting tray and a stopping process can be initiated via stationary cam rails. To achieve a simple, economical tipping mechanism with fast switching between horizontal and tipped positions, the supporting tray is fastened at a pendulum which is swivelable about the tilting axle which is stationary with respect to the car. A free end of the pendulum is articulated at a slide which is guided in a base body transversely to the transporting direction by means of a pendulum joint.
