Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0552779A1] A collector device for postal items (12) provided with a container (4) defining a space (6) delimited by flat walls and operable to contain postal items (12) (letters and postcards) directed into the container (4) by an introduction device (18) formed by two rotating rollers (21, 22). The collector device (1) is provided with a kinetic energy absorber device (36) comprising a roller (50) which is angularly movable about a horizontal axis (53) and rests on a lower end (43) of a movable arm (40) pivoted at its upper end (41) to an upper portion of the container (4). The item (12) projected from the introduction device (18) performs a trajectory (90) which terminates when a front edge of the item (12) comes into contact with the walls of the roller (50) and the kinetic energy of the item (12) is transferred to the roller (50) itself. In this way rebounding of the item (12) is prevented. <IMAGE>
