Abstract

See full text

A separating conveyor for transferring unit loads, in particular air luggage, from a conveyor belt (3) to at least one adjacent branching conveyor, has traveling undercarriages (7) arranged one after the other in the transport direction (F), movable along a guiding rail (6) and interconnected by driven traction means (4) to form an endless revolving chain, and tilting arms (8) arranged on the undercarriages (7), a coupling rod (12) being joined to each tilting arm (8) outside of its axis (9) to ensure the tilting movement of the tiling arms (8). In order to ensure the rotation of the tilting arms (8) about the axis (9) over a switchable switching element (17), the guiding roller (14) can be deflected into a tilting rail (16) vertically offset in relation to the guiding rail (15). The switching rail (41) can be swiveled by a cam gear in the manner of a Maltese cross having a driven pin disk (34) oriented transversely to the transport direction and which engages with a pin (35) a slot (36) in a slotted disk (37). A connection rod (40) is mounted on the slotted disk (37) for converting the rotary movement of the slotted disk (37) into an up and down movement of the switching rail (41).
