Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010055047A1] The invention relates to a sorting system for sorting flat objects, particularly mail items, and a method for sorting such objects. The sorting system comprises a discharge device and an arrangement having at least two output devices (2.2, 2.3). The output devices (2.2, 2.3) are arranged one behind the other as viewed in a longitudinal axis. The discharge device is designed to discharge each flat object to be sorted into one of the output devices (2.2, 2.3) in each case in such a way that the objects discharged into the same output device form a stack. Each output device (2.2, 2.3) comprises a bottom. The bottom of each output device (2.2, 2.3) rises with respect to the horizontal as viewed in a rising direction (A). An edge (9.2, 9.3) appears between the bottoms of two adjacent output devices (2.2, 2.3). Said edge (9.2, 9.3) slopes downward vertically or aslant as viewed in the rising direction (A).
