Stacking devices that are used in connection with conveyor and distribution systems for two-dimensional shipments stack are known. In such stacking devices, the mail items are either upright standing next to each other or stacked flat on top of each other. Related to mechanical or automatic distribution systems arise the task of a stacking device from one side to the irregular Follow incoming shipments and on the other side, controlled by the distribution point, occasionally remove them again, so that such a stacking device can be referred to as an intermediate or through-stacking device can.

Such an intermediate stacking device is for a device for the delivery of approximately uniform Quantities of letters to several receiving points known. With this intermediate stacking device, which uprights the mail items arriving on one side via erne feeding device are fed, the stack is between a fixed feeder and a movable one Trigger device held so that the programs in the rhythm of the workstations outgoing switching pulses are fed to a conveyor trough by the puller, which the Routes broadcasts to the workstations. However, this solution implies a long heavy execution of the movable Stacking plate ahead, since the conveyor trough is attached to the movable stacking plate, which the Must correspond to the length of the intermediate stack.

The invention is based on the object with simple Means to provide a device by which this disadvantage is eliminated. This task is achieved in that a flat belt is arranged below the movable stacking plate in the direction of movement on which the mail items are forwarded will. The main advantage of the invention is based on the fact that the Arrangement of a stationary flat conveyor belt, which is pulled from the upper movable stacking plate Deliveries to the discharge or reader channel feeds, a lighter structure for the to be moved Stacking plate results.

According to a further development of the invention, one is on the flat belt for the individual broadcasts or to provide several stops at which the transit shipment is held for so long until the consignment is forwarded at the reading area and another consignment is to follow up at short notice.

The pulling device at the end of the stacking plate is carried out in a known manner using the intermediate stacking device
for flat objects

dem, rollers or pneumatically operated means. Switching on the puller is activated by a corresponding switching device (e.g. with belts or rollers by a single-turn clutch) set up so that by the incremental pulse arriving from the reading station only one The consignment is pulled off and the connecting tape to the upright reader channel or one of the ones in front of it Stops is fed. The reader channel can be placed on the feed side of the movable stacking plate as you lie opposite on the side of the puller.

If a faster passage of the mail items is required with automatic reading points, so can possibly also two such intermediate stacking devices, arranged side by side or opposite one another, alternately feed the reader channels.

The advantage of the device over all others that work exclusively with edgewise tapes Intermediate stacking devices is that pivotable upright gutters are avoided and so that space in terms of width and technical effort is saved.

The operation of the device is shown in Figures 1 and 2.

Via the edgewise feed channel H ₂ , possibly with the interposition of the edgewise

soft Wz, the incoming mail items are fed to the stacking plate St _z with the aid of the feed device Z. The stack is formed here between the feed device Z and the pulling device A. The stacking plate St _z moves on rollers over a rope under the weight load G, which constantly presses the stack against the feed device Z. Through the pulling device, the broadcasts are thrown down in the rhythm in which the connected reading station works, individually on the underlying flat belt Be and the next stop, z. B. H _st , fed to the end of the edgewise reading channel H ₁ and the reading area L provided here, where they are stopped at the stops.

Claims (2)

PATENT CLAIMS: 1. Zwischenstapelvorriehtung for two-dimensional objects with holding the upright mail items between a stationary feed device and a peeling device connected to a movable stacking plate, the movable stacking plate being arranged in its direction of movement at right angles to the parallel feeders and readers, characterized in that Below the movable stacking plate (St _z ) in the direction of movement of which a flat belt (Be) is arranged, on which the mail items are forwarded. 2. Apparatus according to claim !, characterized in that on the flat belt (Be) one or more stops (H _st ) are provided for the programs which are passed through in sequence in the rhythm of the processing of the programs.
