Definitions

  • Deflecting means associated with each of said parcel receiving receptacles including track elements. Said deflecting means is activatable upon command to tilt said receptacles from a normal parcel receiving position to the right or left of the line of travel in said orbit discharging by gravity parcels thereon at predetermined positions.
  • the parcel sorting conveyor system also includes reset deflector means selectively positioned therealong adapted to return said parcel receiving receptacles to said normal parcel receiving position.

  • barriers when using barriers to deflect even if mechanically activatable it requires relatively short conveyor systems where the barriers are clearly visable to an operator, or if longer conveyors are utilized, additional personnel are required in the area of the barrier to assure proper actuation as to timing and placement.
  • This invention is particularly helpful in the sorting of mail, parcels and other items where a relatively large and continuous volume is encountered.
  • Each of the contiguous parcel receiving receptacle means of this invention is separate and tiltable to the right or left of the line of travel or remain horizontal upon command.
  • the conveyor system would generally be referred to as an endless conveyor means which carries parcels in the receptacles along the top of the conveyor to a desired location where the receptacles are tilted and emptied then reset to a parcel receiving position and pass around the ends of the conveyor means below the top receptacles and then back around the other end ready for loading and discharge in the upper or top position.
