Coupling Device for Articulated Connection of Two Elements of a Conveying and/or Sorting Device, and Corresponding Conveying and/or Sorting Device

Abstract

The invention concerns a coupling device (14) for articulated connection of two elements (12) of a device (10) for conveying and/or sorting piece goods, wherein the coupling device (10) connects together an end (24, 26) of each of the two elements (12) pivotably with respect to a rotational axis (20) in a plane to both sides (24, 26), and the two ends (24, 26) lie diametrically opposite each other in a neutral position. It is provided that the coupling device (14) is configured such that, starting from a respective central axis (28) of the two ends (24, 26), the rotational axis (20) on a pivot movement in the direction of the one side (24) lies on this one side (24) of the central axes (28), and on a pivot movement in the direction of the other side (26) lies on this other side (26) of the respective central axis (28). The invention furthermore concerns a corresponding device (10) for conveying and/or sorting piece goods.
