ABSTRACT:
A mail piece stacking machine is disclosed which is designed for use on conjunction with a mail piece processing or handling machine, such as a typical mailing machine, for stacking a plurality of pieces of mail as they are ejected seriatim from an outlet end of the processing or handling machine. The stacking machine has an elongate frame with a first feeding device consisting of a pair of cooperating rollers disposed adjacent the inlet end of the stacking machine, receives the mail pieces seriatim from the processing or handling machine and positively feeds the mail pieces into the stacking machine. A second elongate feeding device, consisting of a pair of belts traveling at a much slower speed than the first feeding device, receives the mail pieces in shingled overlapped relationship, and transports them to an upwardly angled stacking wall which causes the mail pieces to form a stack of mail pieces in the same upwardly angled orientation which progresses from the stacking wall toward the first feeding device.
