    摘要: A drop-box mechanism or system is disposed adjacent to an article conveyor and atop a flat mail storage tub and comprises a platen movable between first and second chambers at which the open top of the storage tub is respectively uncovered and covered. When the platen uncovers the storage tub, deflecting fingers move downwardly so as to cover the platen tracks and the space defined between the bottom of the drop-box mechanism and the open top of the storage tub so as to prevent flat mail articles from becoming jammed within the tracks or from being inadvertently discharged through the space defined between the bottom of the drop-box mechanism and the open top of the storage tub. In this manner, the predetermined conveyed order of articles is preserved so as to facilitate sequence address delivery of the articles to recipients.

    摘要: A flat article conveyor system comprises a forming wheel which is provided for operative cooperation with a grooved roller whereby a relatively shallow and temporary longitudinal crease, rib, or spine is formed or impressed within relatively thin pieces or units of mail, or similar flat articles, as the pieces or units of mail, or similar flat articles, are conveyed so as to effectively reinforce the piece or unit of mail, or similar article, such that the piece or unit of mail will not experience curl or sag so as not to subsequently rollover when, for example, the particular piece or unit of mail, or similar flat article, is being released from a conveyor mechanism into a stacking or similar accumulation chamber.

    摘要: A conveyor or article transportation system for conveying or transporting, for example, pieces or units of mail, or similar flat articles, has a pair of guide fingers operatively extending downstream from a downstream end of the conveyor so as to project into a stacking chamber within which the pieces or units of mail, or flat articles, are to be stacked. The guide fingers effectively vertically support the downstream end portions of the pieces or units of mail, or articles, such that the downstream end portions of the mail or articles do not curl or curve downwardly, or sag, whereby the pieces of mail or articles are deposited within the stacking chamber in a substantially flat state so as to prevent rollover of the pieces of mail or articles which would otherwise become jammed within the stacking system and cause upstream jamming or interruptions within the conveying system. In addition, the prevention of the curling or rollover of the pieces of mail or articles, in turn, prevents the pieces or articles from being stacked partially inside each other and therefore out of their previously sorted serial sequence.
