Abstract
The invention pertains to a distribution device for parcels with a deflection element for distributing the parcels that arrive on a conveyor pathway in approximately the horizontal direction to branched-off conveyor pathways with approximately the same transport plane. According to the invention, three conveyor pathways (T , T , T ) branch off from a distribution point. The ends of the deflection element (A) are connected to horizontally displaceable plungers of stationary stroking mechanisms (H , H ) by means of pivot points (D , D ) in order to displace the ends from one lateral limit of the central conveyor pathway (T ) to the other lateral limit. One of the two stroking mechanisms (H , H ) is fixed perpendicularly to the transport direction of the central conveyor pathway (T ), with the other stroking mechanism (H , H ) being mounted in a pivoted fashion.
