ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a receiving area or stacking tray for items. The stacking tray may be flat and the items mail items. The mail items may also be flat. The flat mail items are accommodated in an upright position. The receiving area has a stacking base, a stacking location, and a stack-retaining stack support which is movable in approximately horizontal stacking direction. Preceding the stacking location in the direction of stacking there is disposed, a driven pusher unit, likewise movable in the direction of stacking, for emptying the tray, for which purpose the drive of the pusher unit can be controlled such that the pusher unit rapidly slides the stack out over the stacking base and the drive of the stack support can be controlled such that the stack support covers a larger distance than the pusher unit in the course of the emptying process.
