Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0645327A1] Hopper (20) for supplying flat objects, comprising a substantially planar sole plate (26) delimited by a first so-called falling edge (24) adjacent to means (14, 17) for conveying flat objects in a predetermined conveying direction (Da) and by a second so-called gripping edge (6) comprising means (7) for attracting the first object (1) in a pile of flat objects (1, 8, P) located on the said sole plate (26) against the said second edge (6) and displacing this object (1) towards transfer means (16) in a predetermined transfer direction (Dt). The sole plate (26) comprises a first part (27), adjacent to the falling edge (24), and a second part forming a retention zone (21) located close to the said gripping edge (6) and having a high coefficient of friction much greater than that of the first part (27) of the sole plate (26). Use for automatic sorting of mail. <IMAGE>
