Abstract

The chute directs items received from the skips of a sorting machine to the sacks or containers receiving them, being particularly for postal sorting work. As the items descend under gravity, it imparts to them a rotation through 90 deg. Its slide surface can be inclined to the frontal and horizontal planes, being in the form of a quarter of a cylinder, extended by a concave skew surface of decreasing radius, the locus of whose centres is a circle. The slide surface can end in a vertical wall and an inclined bottom forming the chute outlet. There can also be a deflector surface at the outlet end of the concave surface, returning to the centre items running out of true.
