ABSTRACT:
A demountable back-up item supporting device for an item sorter pocket receptacle of a sorter reader comprises a horizontally elongated fence-like member having a mounting pedestal disposed at each opposite end thereof. A central opening extends from one end of said member to the other end. A highly flexible, relatively thin, deflectable member is attached at opposite ends to said fence-like member and extends within said central opening in a bowed formation having a constantly changing radius of curvature. Oppositely disposed, demountable brushes extend outwardly away from one end of said fence like member. A thin, flat, elongated contacting element is demountably attached to the brush retaining end for cooperative engagement with an associated photo optical switch structure. The fence-like member is vertically bowed so as to maintain the columnated attitude of the items being sorted as the items contact this member. The inboard end of the member is angled away from the main plain thereof so as to force the items away therefrom and into the item pocket.
