Abstract (en)

A singulator device for flat rectangular postal objects comprising: a resting surface (12,13) for the packs of postal objects; a motor-driven belt withdrawing device (19); a drawing system (15), which displaces the packs towards a plane gripping portion of said motor-driven belt withdrawing device (19) designed to withdraw individually a postal object that constitutes a front end face of the pack, displacing it in a direction transverse to the direction of drawing. The motor-driven belt withdrawing device (19) is coupled to a separator device (40), which moves between at least two positions, of which: a resting position, in which the separator device (40) does not interfere with the belt withdrawing device (19) and with the postal object during withdrawal from the pack by the withdrawing device (19); and an activation position, in which a mobile portion of the separator device extends beyond the plane gripping portion towards the pack of objects to come into contact with a rear portion of the postal object during withdrawal, moving it away from the belt withdrawing device (19) and preventing sliding of the rear portion on the belt.
