Abstract

The device is comprised of an unpackaging station for the unsold articles or magazines, a computer for introducing an identification code for each package of unsold articles, a first access conveyor (8) which opens into the machine (1), a second conveyor (11) for atypical articles and a third conveyor (14) for identified unsold copies, as well as an other optional conveyor (15) for extemporaneous unsold copies. A fifth conveyor (16) extends from an auxiliary station (12) to storage means with a carousel (17). The articles are fed on an inclined endless belt, passing through an optoelectronic station (25b) for identification purposes. Means for correcting the position of the papers and magazines are provided. There is provided an automatic feed device, on a unitary and continuous basis, towards the conveyor of the machine, comprised of a receiving hopper (57) with an inclined grooved bed (58), a fixed wall (59) and a movable wall which pushes the stack towards a suction cup (61) with a reciprocating motion.
