ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for arranging flat mail items into a sequence of delivery points has a singling device having a device for determining address information located on the mail items. A temporary storage device has pouches that open downward and are connected to a circulating conveying device. The mail items are transportable from a read device to one pouch-loading station. Output conveyors accept the mail items from the pouches and transport the mail items to a stacking device. Each output conveyor has segments and moves relative to the temporary storage device. A part of an output conveyor is arranged beneath an overlapping area. A transporting speed and direction of an output conveyor are matched to a transporting speed and direction of the temporary storage device such that each segment of the output conveyor passes by each pouch of the temporary storage device at least once while moving along the overlapping area.
