ABSTRACT:
A despository apparatus for stacking envelopes in a container (24) includes a transport (16) for conveying an envelope (122') from an entry slot (22) of the apparatus into a receiving zone of the container (24), the receiving zone being separated from a storage zone of the container (24) by resiliently mounted flaps which in operation permit one-way passage of an envelope from the receiving zone into the storage zone. A pusher block (146) is arranged to push an envelope in the receiving zone past the flaps and into the storage zone against the pressure exerted by a block of elastomeric material held in the storage zone in a somewhat compressed condition. For the purpose of simplifying the construction of the apparatus, there is employed a single bidirectional electric motor (80) for driving the transport (16) when operating in one sense, and for driving an actuator (108) for the pusher block (146) when operating in the opposite sense.
