Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of mail processing and more particularly relates to a storage device (drop stacker) for franking machine.
  • Said reference longitudinal wall is inclined with respect to the vertical and towards said receiving plate by an angle ⁇ , said angle ⁇ being preferably between 0.3 ° and 2.5 °, typically 1.31 °.
  • said angle ⁇ is between 3 ° and 43 °, typically 23 ° and said angle ⁇ is between 1.30 ° and 5.30 °, typically 3.30 °.
  • the storage device further comprises a vertical front wall on which is secured a clip intended to be fixed on a rim of a support table of said franking machine and said receiving plate has a groove formed along said vertical back wall to allow gripping of franked mail items.
  • the figure 1 illustrates a franking line of mail items as commonly present in a courier service of a company or an administration, with a franking machine 10 preceded by a device 12 for supplying articles of mail. mail and followed by a device 14 for storing the franked mail items.
  • the feeding device and the franking machine are conventionally arranged on a support table 16, to be at the operator of the machine, the storage device being placed below to allow an accumulation of mail items franked.
  • the storage device comprises a substantially rectangular receiving plate 20, a longitudinal referencing wall 22 disposed on a longitudinal edge of this plate and a vertical rear wall or bottom 24 disposed on a lateral edge of this plate.
  • the receiving plate is inclined relative to the horizontal and towards the longitudinal reference wall by an angle ⁇ of between 3 ° and 43 °, typically 23 °.
  • the longitudinal referencing wall is itself inclined with respect to the vertical and towards the receiving plate by an angle ⁇ of between 0.3 ° and 2.5 °, typically 1.31 °, so that the The angle ⁇ between the longitudinal referencing wall and the receiving plate forms an acute angle of less than 90 ° and typically of the order of 65 °.
  • the vertical bottom wall meanwhile, is made with a perpendicular to the longitudinal referencing wall an angle ⁇ between 1.30 ° and 5.30 °, typically 3.30 °.
  • the inclination of the receiving plate 20 towards the longitudinal referencing wall 22 is necessary to compensate for the natural inclination due to the thickness of the flaps which during the accumulation of the mail items in the device would tend to cause the falling of these mail items on the opposite side to the longitudinal reference wall.
  • the inventor has thus been able to determine that an inclination of 23 ° is perfectly suitable for a storage device allowing the accumulation of a stack of 60 mail items while a tilt of 43 ° was more suitable for a stack able to receive up to 600 of these overlapping items.
  • the inclination of the rear vertical wall 24 improves the alignment of the mail items because in the absence of such inclination (that is to say with a wall perfectly perpendicular to the longitudinal wall referencing), it is not possible to predict the rebound of mail items, the ejection of the franking machine is never perfectly parallel, which can then as well bounce against the longitudinal wall of implementation reference that, on the opposite side, towards the outside of the device.
  • the small inclination of only a few degrees by providing a first almost systematic point contact with the right front corner of each article of mail, makes it possible to guarantee a sudden rebound towards the longitudinal referencing wall 22.
  • this one-time contact (and not with the entire edge of the mail item), promotes a slower and a lesser rebound of the mail item.
  • the storage device To align the storage device with the franking machine, specifically with its output slot by which are ejected one by one the mail items, the storage device also has on its side edge before a vertical wall 26 on which is secured by fasteners 28A a clip 28 which can be fixed on a flange 16A of the support table by a screw 30 therethrough, in the image of a clamp vise fixed on a workbench.
  • the receiving tray has a level difference forming a groove 20A along the rear vertical wall 24 of the device.
