Abstract

See full text

A mail sorter including a conveying surface and a main paddle movably disposed on a slide member for supporting a first end of a main stack of mail pieces while traversing along the conveying surface to apply a first stacking pressure to the mail pieces. An auxiliary paddle is also disposed on the slide member for segregating an auxiliary stack of mail pieces from the main stack of mail pieces. The auxiliary paddle is moveable between a first position where the auxiliary paddle is free of contact with any of the mail pieces and a second position where the auxiliary paddle supports the auxiliary stack of mail pieces against the main paddle to apply a second stacking pressure to the auxiliary stack of mail pieces, the second stacking pressure being less than the first stacking pressure.
