ABSTRACT:
A sorting conveyor arrangement for parcels or the like includes an endless circulating chain on which a plurality of support members for tilting carriages are mounted. Each tilting carriage is tilted in a tilting or emptying station by using switches in which a release roller makes contact with a lifting cam of the switch. The release roller is mounted on a lever which moves a sliding bolt mounted in a tilting head attached to an underside of the tilting carriage. A guide roller is attached to the sliding bolt. When the lever is actuated, the guiding roller is moved into a guide duct of a control cam which causes tilting of the tilting carriage. A guiding piece connected to the sliding bolt engages in an indentation of a locking member attached to the support member, so that the tilting carriage is guided in a positively engaged manner during the entire tilting procedure.
