Abstract: A document feeding device is described for generating a singulated flow of documents, such as mail pieces from a stack of documents. The documents may then be sorted to destination storage areas based upon the address information which each document bears. The present device is especially useful in processing mail flats. The double feeding of documents is substantially prevented by the device which effects the continued separation of the documents in a plurality of stages while they are all in a dynamic state. More specifically the device utilizes a buffer technique wherein simultaneous separation can take place in two series stages on different documents during the singulation process.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system for sorting and processing a variety of articles including certain mail pieces known as flats which cannot be processed on letter mail equipment. The system includes mechanical carriers, which may be magnetically encoded with the sort destinations, to transport and remain with the respective items through the total processing cycle. The system further comprises a monorail conveyor distribution system having a three dimensional suspension system consisting of belts to provide transport, storage, switching and supporting of the carriers during the processing operation.
