Transfer device

A transfer device (20), adapted to

• take over a conveyed material (9) at a takeover area (26a) from an upstream conveying section (10a),
• convey the conveyed material (9) at least temporarily within a conveying area (26f) in a conveying direction (FR) and, in particular, in a conveying plane (FE), and
• selectively transfer the conveyed material (9) in the direction of a transfer area (3) arranged laterally in the conveying direction,
• the transfer device (20) comprising:
• a plurality of belt carriages (21) which are arranged circumferentially along a guide (23) in such a way that the belt carriages move at least temporarily, in particular in the conveying area (26f), in the conveying direction (FR),
• wherein the belt carriage comprises a transport belt (24),
• wherein the transport belt (24) forms at least temporarily a support surface (241) for the conveyed material (9),
• wherein the transport belt (24) being selectively movable in a transverse direction (Q) transverse to the conveying direction (FR), in particular and at the same time parallel to a conveying plane (FE), for selective lateral transfer of the conveyed material (9),
• wherein a carriage (21, 22), in particular the belt carriage (21) and/or an intermediate carriage (22) on which an intermediate surface (222) is arranged, is mounted vertically with respect to the frame (28) by means of a main guide (231, 281), and
• an auxiliary guide (232, 282), the carriage being adapted such that
• in a normal operating state, the auxiliary guide (232, 282) remains in a non-load-transmitting state, and
• in an overload state, the auxiliary guide (232, 282) assumes a load-transmitting state.
