Abstract
The invention relates to a retarding conveyor for cargo with an outward-transfer station at one location at least, with a sectionally subdivided, drivable conveying apparatus carrying the pieces of cargo, each section being drivable by an intermediate roller driven by a constantly revolving traction device, this intermediate roller being adjustable from the driving position into an idling position employing a feeler extending into the path of motion of the cargo. Such a retarding conveyor is to be provided with a large stowing volume, as well as a large number of outward-transfer stations through which transfer-out additionally takes place at high velocity. For this purpose, a section (5, 5',5') of the conveying apparatus (2) is supported, as the outward-transfer station, in a segmented frame (6) tiltable about a folding axle (10) arranged in parallel to the conveying plane, this segmented frame being adjustable by an auxiliary force into an inclined tilting position terminating toward a conveyor (11, 11') arranged at an offset level, wherein the drive connection to a traction device (4) is constantly present or can be established, respectively.
