A carriage for a conveyer for piece goods. The carriage is provided with a tilting device that is fastened to a carriage frame and is equipped with a push rod which is used to tilt a transporting tray disposed on a horizontal shaft. When the transporting tray is being tilted, for example, a postal package disposed on the tray is transferred at a preselected destination, for example, to a chute. A locking device equipped with detent pawls, an adjustment disc and a locking disc, automatically locks the transporting tray in its predetermined oblique position. In this way the transporting tray is prevented from tilting back once a sliding block provided for the pivoting is no longer in engagement with the tilting device in the region of the tilting path. The sliding block can thus be shorter than the tilt path.
A carriage for a conveyor for piece goods, the carriage including a transporting tray mounted on the frame of the carriage and a tilting device for tilting the transporting tray, wherein the transporting tray is automatically locked in the oblique position intended for the discharge of a piece of goods and adjustment means are provided for unlocking said oblique position by means of the tilting device, and wherein, in order to produce a lock on a horizontal shaft, there are provided a locking disc that is connected with the transporting tray and an adjustment disc that is connected with the tilting device, there being further provided at least one pivotal detent pawl that is connected with the frame of the carriage so as to be in engagement with the locking disc in said oblique position.
