Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a stacker for an automatic mail sorting machine.
  • the present invention relates more particularly to the stacker thus called since the letters are arranged one against the other by constituting a stack.
  • Preparing the postman's tour means sorting and storing the mail according to an order to be scrupulously observed: the ordering of the mail must correspond exactly to the route actually made by the postman.
  • a second sorting pass will be made using four stackers to sort by color value.
  • Unstacking of the clearance is carried out on the supply store according to the order of the stackers (Stacker 1, Stacker 2, ..., Stacker 4) and respecting the scheduling of the mail inside each stacker. The following result is obtained:
  • a removable stacker is known from document FR-A-2552743 It includes a stacking range, a movable wall for keeping documents on edge and moving as the filling progresses against the action of a return device and a hinged flap which can take a first position in which it is erased for stacking documents and a second position in which it is folded down for handling the stacker.
  • the hinged flap serves as a stacking area.
  • the object of the invention is to remedy this drawback.
  • the subject of the invention is a removable stacker as defined in claim 1.
  • the removable stacker of the invention comprises a stacking range in which the stack of sorted letters is constituted, each letter being stored vertically on edge, against the previous letter.
  • the range is constituted by a rectangular plate 1, for example aluminum or any other material having a low coefficient of friction, sufficient rigidity and a low weight.
  • the plate has a length of 535 mm, a width of 275 mm, which makes it possible to receive several hundred letters of forming current.
  • a thickness of 2 mm ensures sufficient rigidity and low weight.
  • these dimensions can be modified according to the dimensional characteristics of the documents to be processed and according to the type of machine in which the stacker is integrated.
  • the plate 1 is closed on a short side by a vertical bottom 2 provided with an opening 3 large enough so that the bottom can serve as a handle.
  • the stacker further comprises a movable wall 4 on which the first stacked letter rests and whose role is to keep the letters on edge while moving as the stacker is filled.
  • This wall is equipped with a reminder device allowing it to maintain the mail sufficiently and to return to its original position (that of FIG. 1), once the contents of the stacker have been transferred.
  • this movable wall is a pallet equipped with a ball bushing 5 (visible in FIG. 2), sliding on a rod 6 extending parallel to one of the long sides of the track 1 and fixed on the one hand on the bottom 2 and, on the other hand, on a fixed angle iron 7 arranged at the other end of the range.
  • the return device is a helical spring not visible in the figures.
  • the flap 8 is a metal plate of dimensions 50 x 150 x 2 mm.
  • a magnet is used. It can be stuck on the shutter and cooperate with the angle 7 then made of magnetic material; alternatively, the magnet is fixed to the angle iron 7 and it is the flap which is made at least partially of magnetic material.
  • This magnet has been represented by a small rectangle 8A in dashed lines in the figures.
  • the stacker is completed by a jogging edge 10, placed along the long side of the plate where the rod 6 is located; this bank serves as a physical stop for each document entering the stacker, guaranteeing the quality of the stacking.
  • the stacker comprises a second handle, produced simply by a metal plate 12 fixed perpendicularly to the plate 1 along the long side where the rod 6 is located, and provided with an opening 13 for the passage of the hand.
  • the operation of the stacker is as follows: before bringing the empty stacker (Figure 1) onto the sorting system ( Figure 2), the flap is folded down, exerting at its upper part a force greater than that of the magnet ; the flap then being in the same plane as the plate 1 of the stacker, it is placed on the sorting system of which we have shown, in Figure 2, that the stacker support 20, the belts 21 and 22 for routing, rotating around the pulleys 23 and 24, the fixed guide flap 25 and the retractable holding cam.
  • the sorting system is well known and need not be described in more detail.
  • the stacker can then be handled and transferred, either to the sorting system supply store for a subsequent sorting pass, or to the boxes or transport bags of the dispensers ( Figure 4).
  • the invention applies to the equipment of small sorting centers, in particular for the preparation of the postman's tour.
