Abstract

A device for radially deflecting consignments in transport plants permits consignments to be conveyed, in linear sections, clamped between an upper belt and a lower belt, where the upper belt urges the inner side of the curvature of the consignments to be conveyed against a surface profile of the deflection device. The deflection device on which the inner side of the curvature of the consignment rests has a surface profile with depressions on the side facing the consignment. The tangential length of the surface profile is at least as long as the outside of the respective consignment.
