ABSTRACT:
A pivotal swing plate for stacking sorted envelopes on edge in the storage section of a high speed mail sorting machine. A sleeve on each swing plate fits on an upright post to pivotally mount the swing plate in the path of incoming sorted envelopes. The swing plate is angled relative to the envelopes and serves both as a side support and back plate for holding the envelopes in a stack. The incoming envelopes progressively pivot the plates open, and a ramp and pin mechanism maintains each swing plate against the leading edges of the envelopes to retain them on edge in the envelope stack.
