ABSTRACT:
A mailing machine includes a mail transport device for vertically moving individual pieces of mail from a mail bundle to an apparatus for weighing such pieces of mail and to then move same to a further station where each piece of mail is positioned horizontally by a plurality of rotating members while a bar code is printed thereon, if desired. After such positioning, the piece of mail is transported in one of two directions dependent upon previously selected criteria pertinent to the piece of mail. One direction moves the mail piece to a bulk mailing apparatus disposed adjacent the mailing machine while moving the mail piece in the other direction delivers it to an apparatus coupled to the mailing machine for sorting and storing each piece of mail, again dependent upon information pertinent to the particular piece of mail. The sorting and storing apparatus includes mechanism for selecting the mail piece and for simultaneously moving same in the X-and Y-directions and for then moving that mail piece in the Z-direction to an appropriate mail storage space. The mailing machine is configured to occupy a much smaller space than conventional mailing machines.
