葉書倒れ防止手段を備えた装置が考えられた。(Prior art and its problems) As a feeding device for postcards, etc. (hereinafter referred to as postcards) used as described above, a large number of stacked postcards are supported and conveyed horizontally with each postcard standing vertically. A postcard conveyance path equipped with a conveyor, a suction ascending conveyance means for suctioning and conveying the first postcard vertically upward one by one from the terminal position of the conveyance path, and a suction ascending conveyance means that abuts on the last postcard on the conveyance path and moves in the conveyance direction. A device has been devised that includes a biasing means for preventing postcards from falling.

ような問題点が明らかになつた。 This type of feeding device conveys a large number of postcards supported on the conveyor toward the suction and upward conveyance means, and always applies an appropriate pressure to the suction surface of the suction and upward conveyance of the first postcard. By bringing the postcards into contact with the conveyor, the postcards on the conveyor can be sent vertically upward one by one, starting from the first postcard, but the following problems have been found.

ことが出来なくなる。 That is, instead of forcibly moving the postcard supported on the conveyor from the rear toward the suction lifting conveyance means, the entire postcard is moved forward by moving the support surface of the postcard, that is, the conveyance surface of the conveyor. Therefore, when the number of postcards on the conveyor is small, the frictional force between the postcards and the conveyor is small because the entire postcards have a small weight, and the first postcard hits the suction surface of the suction ascending conveyance means. After contact, the postcards will not easily continue to slip between themselves and the conveyor and be pressed with excessive force toward the suction surface, but if there are a large number of postcards on the conveyor, Due to the large weight of the entire postcard, even if the entire postcard and the conveyor are driven, the frictional force between the conveyor and the postcard is extremely large, making it difficult for slippage to occur between each postcard and the postcard support surface of the conveyor. become a state. Therefore, after the first postcard comes into contact with the suction surface, the conveying action of the conveyor tends to compress the entire postcard in the conveying direction, and the first postcard is strongly pressed against the suction surface.
As a result, the friction between the leading postcard and the succeeding postcards becomes too large, and even if the suction and upward conveyance means is activated, the leading postcard cannot be reliably suctioned and conveyed upward.

なつている。 On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a plurality of postcards 2 located slightly behind the first postcard 2 have a leaf spring tip 58a of the lateral biasing means 55 on one side edge near the lower end. By pressing, the side wall plate 12
is pressed toward the inner guide surface 12a. That is, the plurality of postcards 2 located slightly behind the first postcard 2 are sandwiched in the width direction between the leaf spring tip 58a and the side wall plate inner guide surface 12a, so that the conveyance action by the conveyor belt 9 is applied. There will be resistance against. Therefore, when the postcards 2 are conveyed by the conveyor belt 9, each postcard 2 is slightly delayed from the conveyor belt 9 at the position where it comes into pressure contact with the leaf spring tip 58a, and the pressure contact force between the postcards is reduced at this point. becomes maximum, and the mutual pressure contact force between the plurality of postcards 2 that have come off the leaf spring tip 58a and moved toward the lower postcard handling rollers 45a, 45b is significantly reduced. As a result, when the touch sensor rod 49 is moved backward by the leading postcard 2 and the conveyor belt 9 is stopped, the lower end of the leading postcard 2 is unduly strong against the lower postcard sorting rollers 45a and 45b. In addition to not being forced, the first postcard 2
