ABSTRACT:
Item transport apparatus is described which finds particular application in a system for transporting and processing a variety of items or articles including mail pieces of the letter or flat variety. The processing of such items may entail the sorting, compact storing and retrieving thereof. In contrast to present day item transport apparatus in which the carrier devices themselves require an excessive volume to store the items being processed, the carrier of the invention retains the item in a sleeve of relatively thin semi-rigid material which adjusts substantially to the thickness of the item. Accordingly, depending upon the item itself, the overall thickness of the loaded carrier may be little more than that of the item and the storage efficiency is optimum.
