Cross-belt sorter

A cross-belt sorter comprising a plurality of interconnected carriers which are drivable behind each other in a conveying direction, wherein each of the carriers is provided with a cross-belt for supporting a product, which cross-belt is drivable in a belt driving direction extending transversely to the conveying direction, wherein a pushing element is mounted to each said cross-belt for pushing against a product on the cross-belt in the event that the product on the cross-belt tends to move with respect to the cross-belt in a direction opposite the belt driving direction, each said pushing element has an upright orientation with respect to the cross-belt and is supported in the belt driving direction by a supporting member which is at least between opposite side edges of the cross-belt that is fixed to the pushing element and to the cross-belt at respective distances from an intersection between the pushing element and the cross-belt, the pushing element and the supporting member have a plate shape extending in a transverse direction to the belt conveying direction, the plate-shaped pushing element and the supporting member cover the entire cross-belt between opposite side edges of the cross-belt and each said pushing element and each said supporting member are pivotably mounted to each other and to the cross-belt.
