Abstract (en)
The invention provides a drop bag fitting (10) which comprises a frame (11) for receiving a mail bag so as to hold the bag in such a manner that items can be deposited in the bag, and a movable platform (23) which is biased upwardly by springs (24,25,26). The platform (23) is arranged to move downwardly when the bag and the items deposited therein reach a predetermined weight. One end of a rod (28) is attached to the platform (23) and the other end of the rod (28) has a portion (30,31) which is visible to a user of the fitting until the platform (23) moves, thereby to indicate when the predetermined weight has been reached. <IMAGE>
