ABSTRACT:
A noise and impact reduction arrangement for a mail handling system wherein successive mail pieces of varying thicknesses may be fed to and through a mail processing work station in an efficient and rapid manner. The arrangement includes a feed assembly which is associated with the work station and which is adapted to be yieldably biased to a normal operative position and to be deflected away from said position to varying extents depending on the thickness of the various mail pieces that are successively fed through said station. Such deflection away from said normal position is readily permitted but a drag or braking force is applied to the feed assembly during its return movement towards said normal position so as to greatly reduce the severe arresting noise and shock that would otherwise be generated by the feed assembly reaching its said normal position.
