Abstract:
Piling rack for flat parcels with: a pivotable piling bottom which lowers as the height of the stack increases and which is inclined in a downward direction relative to the orientation of inserted parcels, an impact wall inclined outwardly relative to the orientation of the piling bottom and the direction of insertion and turning inwardly with a side wall relative to the edge of the sidewall, a back wall opposite the impact wall, having an opening which is located at the upper end of the back wall, which is aligned to the orientation of inserted parcels, and into which parcels are inserted in a downward direction, characterized in that the piling bottom is inclined toward the side wall and pivots about its edge facing the back wall, that opposite the piling bottom, a lid is provided which is curved in a downward direction toward the piling bottom and subsequently curves away from the piling bottom, wherein the inner contour of the lid, at least from the portion curved towards the piling bottom, extends below the trajectory of inserted parcels and wherein the portion of the lid curving away from the piling bottom contacts the impact wall in alignment with the piling bottom such that, for an empty piling rack, the distance at the impact wall between the portion curving away from the piling bottom and the piling bottom likewise is smaller than the shortest parcel, wherein, for a full stack, the distance at the impact wall between the portion curving away from the piling bottom and the upper most parcel likewise is smaller than the shortest parcel.
