Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1946853A1] A device (1) for tipping top-open boxes (3) containing mail (7) is provided with a frame (43), which is rotationally coupled to a fixed supporting structure (29) about an essentially horizontal axis (31) and carries two conveyors (44); the conveyors (44) face each other and are reciprocally spaced so as to define a seat (48) for at least one box (3), rotate along with the frame (43) about the essentially horizontal axis (31), and are motorized so as to horizontally move the box (3) out; the frame (43) is rotated by an angle essentially equal to 180° about the essentially horizontal axis (31) when, in use, a box (3) engages the seat (48).
