A conveyor system, comprising: a track containing an endless chain (2); and a plurality of buckets (4) each bucket (4) comprising a bucket body defining a void in which contents can be contained, an arm (51) pivotally mounted on the bucket body through a mounting for rotation relative to the bucket body about a bucket pivot axis (50) through the mounting, the arm (51) extending perpendicular to the bucket pivot axis (50) and having an arm head (16) at point distant from the axis; each arm head being fixed to the chain through an arm mounting, the arm mountings being spaced apart along the endless chain by a chain pitch, whereas the endless chain follows a first path, and the mountings of the buckets follow a second path; and in which variation of the radius of curvature of the first path relative to the second path causes a separation of the buckets to vary.

A device for commissioning goods (2) with a goods feed (3), the device including an unloading device (10) with at least one unloading point (11) for unloading goods (2), and an unloading handling module (20), to which the goods (2) are transferred from the unloading device (10), the unloading handling module (20) including at least one goods receiving element (21, 31, 81) and a moving element (22, 32) for transferring the goods (2) to a downstream conveying unit (30).

A device for emptying transport bags conveyed in a suspended manner, includes a conveying system via which transport bags may be supplied in a suspended manner along a conveying path. The transport bags have a pocket that is open at the top when in the filled state and a front side. A circulating conveyor belt for receiving piece good units transported in the transport bags is included, and in a contact section, the conveying paths of the conveying system and the conveyor belt are situated relative to one another in such a way that the distance between the conveying paths of the conveying system and the conveyor belt become continuously smaller, so that when a transport bag is conveyed along the contact section, the front side of the pocket of the transport bag contacts and comes to rest on the conveyor belt, and the transport bag is thereby pivoted backwards.

A conveying unit that includes a base body, a conveying member with a rest element forming a rest surface and receiving a conveyed object, an inclining body that is connected to the conveying member, and an inclining mechanism for inclining the inclining body and, with this body, also the rest surface, with respect to the base body towards a delivery side for the purpose of delivering the conveyed object. The conveying member includes an encompassing frame that at least partly encompasses the rest surface of the rest element for the object to be conveyed and can therefore secure the conveyed object against sliding away from the rest surface, and the encompassing frame can be lifted to above the rest surface or be lowered to below the rest surface via control elements on the conveying unit, on inclining the inclining body to the delivery side.
