ABSTRACT:
A loading station of a high-speed, high volume conveying/sorting mechanism feeds coded articles selectively onto upper and lower platforms of a mobile transport device. The loading station includes a pivotable introduction conveyor which feeds articles selectively to a pivotable upper loading conveyor or a non-pivotable lower loading conveyor. When an article is to be fed to the upper platform, the discharge end of the introduction conveyor is swung upwardly, and the inlet end of the upper loading conveyor is swung downwardly so that those conveyors are aligned in an upwardly inclined direction toward the upper platform. When an article is to be fed to the lower platform, the discharge end of the introduction conveyor is swung downwardly so as to be in alignment with the lower loading conveyor which is inclined downwardly toward the lower platform, and the inlet end of the upper loading conveyor is simultaneously swung upwardly so that the upper loading conveyor is inclined downwardly toward the upper platform.
