ABSTRACT:
A finger sweep for use with mail parcel handling systems includes an elongate mounting member for coupling the finger sweep to a drive shaft, and a parcel engaging member disposed on a distal end of the mounting member. In one embodiment, a pair of finger sweeps are coupled at first ends to a drive shaft such that parcel engaging members on their second ends extend in radially opposite directions. In another embodiment, an elongate mounting member is centrally attached to a drive shaft and parcel engaging members on its ends extend in radially opposite directions. The parcel engaging members are formed from polymeric material and may be removably fastened to the mounting member, or formed directly thereon.
