Conveying device having two conveying carts and cover for covering a space between the two conveying carts

The invention relates to a conveying device (1) containing at least two conveying carts (2), which are arranged one behind the other in the conveying direction and are spaced apart from each other in such a way that a space (4) is formed between the two conveying carts (2). At least the one conveying cart (2) has a cover (6) and at least the other conveying cart (2) has a transverse belt conveyor (8) for conveying material to be conveyed in a transverse conveying direction oriented substantially perpendicular to the conveying direction. The cover (6) covers the space (4) between the conveying carts (2) when the conveying carts (2) travel in a straight line and through corners, by virtue of the fact that the cover (6) of the one conveying cart (2) is arranged at least partially under the upper run (21) of the transverse belt (10) of the other conveying cart (2). During cornering, the cover (6) engages at least partially between a bottom side (22) of the upper run (21) and a first support plane (20) in order to prevent the transverse belt (10) from moving in the transverse conveying direction. When travelling in a straight line the cover (6) engages at least partially between the first support plane (20) and a second support plane (24) in order to permit movement of the transverse belt (10) in the transverse conveying direction. The first support plane (20) and the second support plane (24) are spaced apart from each other.
