Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9823393A1] In particular in postal sorting stations, postal items having an address on one side, such as letters or analogous, are delivered in receptacles, and must be extracted and taken to a separating installation. In a defined transfer position, a pick-up and transfer head (5) reaches into the receptacle (1, 1', 1''). After being swung, the receptacle (1, 1', 1'') is withdrawn and the pile (4) which has been taken over from the removal and transfer head (5) is driven in vertical position to a limit stop (20) as part of the separating installation. It is essential that in particular separate cases, as receptacles (1, 1', 1''), can be correspondingly conveyed independently of each other.
