    Abstract: A postal sorting machine comprises an unstacker in a mailpiece feed inlet, a sorting conveyor, and sorting outlets, each of which is provided with a receptacle designed for storing the mailpieces in a stack and on an edge. Each sorting outlet is provided with a wheel having a helical blade. The wheel projects through an opening in the bottom of the receptacle and is mounted on a transmission shaft. The transmission shaft is disposed under the receptacle to impart a rotary movement to the helical blade so that the helical blade pushes the base of a current mailpiece in the receptacle against the stack of mailpieces that is being formed. The wheel is also mounted on the transmission shaft by being clipped by moving in translation across the axis of rotation of the transmission shaft.

    Abstract: A sorting conveyor has pivotally mounted flaps for sorting articles into sorting outlets as a function of a sorting indication affixed to each of the articles. The conveyor includes a monitoring and control unit designed to cause each flap to pivot between a closed position in which the flap forms a conveyor portion suitable for conveying an article in a certain conveying direction and an open position in which the flap interrupts conveying of an article on the conveyor to deflect it towards an appropriate sorting outlet. The monitoring and control unit is also arranged to retrieve thickness data from a memory giving a certain thickness for the article to be deflected, and to respond by causing the flap to pivot into an open position through a certain opening amplitude determined as a function of the thickness data about the article that is to be deflected.

    Abstract: A detector device comprising an activator element (220) and a detector element (210) mounted to move relative to each other, the detector element generating a detection signal by a proximity effect when the activator element is facing it, a swing system with a first lever (212) carrying the detector element (210) and a second lever (222) carrying the activator element (220), said levers being mounted on a common pivot (230) while being offset angularly from each other, the second lever being designed to pivot from a rest position towards the first lever under the effect of thrust until the activator element and the detector element are in alignment, said first and second levers being designed such that, starting from the state of alignment and under the effect of the thrust, the second lever causes the first lever to pivot through a certain angular range.
