A compact deflecting device for the conveyance of letters or the like in one of a plurality of selectable directions, is formed by a large number of deflecting components (1-1. --, 1-4) placed at a mutually equal distance along an endless conveyor (15) driven in a main conveyance direction (A). Every component combines a deflecting and conveying function with relatively small space requirement. For this purpose, it comprises not only a downstream-pointing deflecting tongue (4) but also a guide roller (6) which are both mounted on a swivel arm construction (9, 10), which can be swivelled by activating a rotary magnet (2) between two positions. Every component (1-1, --, 1-4) is positioned and dimensioned in a manner such that, when swivelling from one position to the other, the access to a conveyance direction deviating from the main direction is freed or essentially closed off and that, in both positions, the guide roller (6) continues to interact in a conveying manner with the conveyor (15). <IMAGE> |
