ABSTRACT:
A mail processing system is described for performing several basic functions. The first of these entails the receipt by the system of mail in single file or in small clumps which arrive synchronously or asynchronously in a random manner. Secondly, the system stores or buffers the mail in an orderly shingled fashion wherein the first batch of mail stored is the first batch to subsequently exit the buffer. Finally, the third function involves the output feeding of the shingled batch of mail from the system to further processing equipment. The system may advantageously include for some applications one or more singulators for generating from the shingled batch, a defined stream of mail pieces separated from one another. It is a significant feature of the buffer feeder system that the above-mentioned functions are interwoven such that the system is capable of receiving and storing one batch of mail while concurrently feeding out a previously stored batch.
