The invention relates to a sorting device (1) for sorting products (15), such as in particular pieces of luggage, comprising a supply conveyor (2), a sorting conveyor (3), to which the supply conveyor (2) connects for transferring products (15) to be sorted from the supply conveyor (2) to the sorting conveyor (3), the sorting conveyor (3) being arranged for selectively delivering products (15) to be sorted to a sorting position during transport in a direction of transport (48) according to a conveying path, said sorting conveyor (3) comprising a frame as well as a plurality of carrying elements (16) that are movable along guide means (13,14) of the frame for supporting a product (15) to be sorted in a group of carrying elements (16) positioned adjacent to each other, each of which carrying elements (16) selectively being pivotable by tilting means (63) about a pivot axis (19) extending parallel to the direction of transport (48) so as to cause a product (15) to slide from said group of adjacent carrying elements (16) to the sorting position, wherein the sorting conveyor (3) comprises connecting means (30) for temporarily interconnecting a group of adjacent carrying elements (16), so that pivoting of some of the carrying elements (16) of said group of interconnected adjacent carrying elements (16) will cause the other elements of said group of interconnected adjacent carrying elements (16) to pivot along therewith. |
