ABSTRACT:
A tipping arrangement in a sorting system includes a carriage body, a shaft connected to the carriage body, a projection secured to the carriage body, and a component pivotally connected to the shaft to be tippable out of a locked base position into at least one tipped position. An actuating apparatus is provided for tipping the component and includes at least one resilient yoke having a first end rigidly secured to the component, and a second end displaceable within a limited range relative to the component. The yoke includes a latching lug defining a stop surface and being located between the first end and the second end. The stop surface engages with the projection for latching the yoke to lock the component in the locked base position. At least one actuating rod is hinged to the second end of the yoke. The at least one actuating rod unlatches the yoke and tips the component into the tipped position.
