Abstract

1,167,878. Apparatus for sorting mail. TELEFUNKEN PATENTVERWERTUNGS G.m.b.H. 16 Dec., 1966 [27 Dec., 1965], No. 56453/66. Heading B8A. A device for separating parcels and like heavy postal items from letter mail comprises a cylinder 2 rotating on an inclined axis 1 and a cylinder 3 contra-rotating within the cylinder 2. The mixture of mail 7 is fed by an endless conveyer 6 into the upper end of the cylinder 2 wherein it is raised by arms 4 on the cylinder 2 and then allowed to fall freely on to the cylinder 3. The letter mail 12 adheres to the periphery of the cylinder 3 by suction provided within or below atmospheric pressure sector 9 whilst the heavier items 13 and the letter mail unable to adhere to the cylinder 3 return to the bottom of the cylinder 2 to be raised again on rotation thereof. A further sector 10 of the cylinder 3 is at above atmospheric pressure whereby the letter mail is released from the periphery of the cylinder 3 on to an endless conveyer 14. The sector 10 is arranged on that side of the second cylinder travelling upwards and is separated from sector 9 by a partition 11. The cylinder 3 is formed from perforated sheet metal with an outer covering of e.g. foam plastics. The parcels are discharged at the lower end of the cylinder 2 at the exit 18 on to an endless conveyer 20 and the letter mail is discharged from the exit 17.
