1. A device for emptying transport bags conveyed in a suspended manner, the device comprising:
a conveying system via which transport bags may be supplied in a suspended manner along a conveying path, the transport bags having a pocket that is open at the top when in the filled state and has a front side;
a circulating conveyor belt for receiving piece good units transported in the transport bags, wherein in a contact section, the conveying path of the conveying system and the conveying path of the conveyor belt are situated relative to one another in such a way that the distance between the conveying path of the conveying system and the conveying path of the conveyor belt becomes 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 chute that adjoins the conveyor belt, such that piece good units present on the conveyor belt are subsequently further conveyed onto the chute, driven by gravity; and
a further conveyor that receives the piece good units from the chute.
