A link conveyor, in particular for sorting parcel items having a plurality of carrying plates arranged in succession and in close proximity to one another in the direction of conveyance, the plates being supported by supporting devices on a continuous supporting chain being drivable along the conveyor line, where (a) the supporting devices each have a bottom support section being connected to and projecting upward from the supporting chain and being connected over a tilt axle running in the conveyance direction to a top support section projecting downward from the carrying plate and attached to it; (b) each carrying plate being tiltable laterally by a tilting mechanism about the tilt axle from an essentially horizontal conveyance position into an inclined delivery position; (c) an end wall extending down at a right angle from the carrying surface is arranged on the front and/or rear edges running across the conveyance direction of each carrying plate; and (d) the carrying plates each have two partially overlapping carrying plate sections with one carrying plate section guided by a guide on the facing side of the other carrying plate section so that it can move relative to the other carrying plate section in traveling through curved sections of the conveyor line, and the other carrying plate section of a carrying plate has a flexurally stiff plate extending over the entire length of the carrying plate, and being supported on a link of the supporting chain at a distance from the overlap area. |
