Abstract (en)
[origin: US7165377B2] In order to be able to prepare a postman's walk containing both letters (L) and "large format" flat postal objects (P) in a single pass: the letters and the large format objects are moved in series using a conveyor ( 3 ) over the bins of a bin carrousel ( 4 ) that is stationary, with the successive bins of the carrousel corresponding to different successive delivery points in the postman's walk; each letter or large format object on the conveyor is directed towards that one of the bins of the carrousel which corresponds to the delivery point for the letter or large format object; and when all of the letters and large format objects of the postman's walk have been grouped together by delivery points in the bins of carrousel, the bin carrousel is set into motion in order to bring each bin in succession to a location ( 5 ) where the bin is emptied into a receptacle.
