Abstract (en)

[origin: CA2731397A1] The invention relates to a transfer device (2) for mail (8) comprising a transfer unit (4) with an output (24) for transferring the individual mail items (8) to a mail carrier (18) and comprising a transport device (10) for transporting the mail (8) to the output (24) in a transport direction (16), said transport device comprising two belts (12, 14) for holding on both sides and transporting the mail (8) and comprising a means for adjusting the distance between the belts (12, 14) to match the thickness of a mail item (8). In order to guarantee non-slip transport of the mail (8) even when the transfer unit (4) is accelerating, it is proposed that the means for adjusting is a belt rocker (32) that can pivot about an axis of rotation, the pivoting motion causing one of the belts (12, 14) to pivot and thus causing the distance thereof to the other belt (12, 14) to vary.
