Abstract: A loading station for a pocket conveyor having two conveying lines. The loading station has a receiving section for receiving pockets for each conveying line; a receiving section for objects, with which the pockets are to be loaded; and a device for each conveying line, into each of which an empty pocket to be filled can be introduced. In addition, the loading station has a moving unit for moving the devices from a receiving section for objects to one of the receiving sections for receiving pockets, and back again. The loading station is also designed to alternately load the pockets of the first conveying line and the pockets of the second conveying line.

Abstract: A conveyor system comprising a plurality of conveyor elements forming a conveyor chain for conveying hanging goods, wherein the conveyor chain extends along a conveyor path. A plurality of hanging elements are movable along and mounted on a guide which extends at least in sections parallel to the conveyor path. The hanging elements comprise an engaging section configured to contact in each case one of the conveyor elements to receive a driving force from the conveyor element which is directed along the guide. The engaging section of the hanging elements is tiltable between a conveying position and an accumulating position, wherein the engaging section is straightened in the conveying position to receive the driving force, and is tilted away in the accumulating position to evade the driving force. The engaging section presses into its conveying position.

Abstract: The present application relates to an apparatus for sorting a plurality of different objects and a corresponding method. The apparatus comprises at least one first sorting stage with at least two sorting lines, each having an input end and an output end. The input ends of the sorting lines of the first sorting stage are connected to an infeed conveyor for feeding the objects, and the output ends of the sorting lines of the first sorting stage are connected to a first transport conveyor for carrying the objects further. Arranged at the output ends of each of the sorting lines is an interrupter, which is designed to individually let out objects from the respective sorting line, and arranged at the output ends of each of the sorting lines is a device for counting and/or identifying the objects let out of the respective sorting line.

Abstract: The present application relates to an apparatus (10) for sorting a plurality of different objects and a corresponding method. The apparatus (10) comprises at least one first sorting stage (12) with at least two sorting lines (14.1, 14.2, 14.3, 14.4, 14.5), each having an input end and an output end. The input ends of the sorting lines (14.1, 14.2, 14.3, 14.4, 14.5) of the first sorting stage (12) are connected to an infeed conveyor (8) for feeding the objects, and the output ends of the sorting lines (14.1, 14.2, 14.3, 14.4, 14.5) of the first sorting stage (12) are connected to a first transport conveyor (18) for carrying the objects further. Arranged at the output ends of each of the sorting lines (14.1, 14.2, 14.3, 14.4, 14.5) is an interrupter (15.1, 15.2, 15.3, 15.4, 15.5), which is designed to individually let out objects from the respective sorting line (14.1, 14.2, 14.3, 14.4, 14.5), and arranged at the output ends of each of the sorting lines is a device (17.1, 17.2, 17.3, 17.4, 17.
