Patent ID: 7950516

Claim:
A conveying system comprising: a mobile conveying device ( 15 ) provided to convey at least one group ( 9 ) of postal objects received at input from flow-forming means ( 8 ), said mobile conveying device comprises a translating-lifting device ( 15 ); an accumulation device ( 17 ) having a plurality of cells ( 18 ), each of said cells adapted to contain said at least one group of postal objects ( 9 ) fed to said accumulation device ( 17 ) by said conveying device ( 15 ); said flow-forming means ( 8 ) provided to generate at output said group ( 9 ) of postal objects aligned in a reference direction, partially overlapping one another and arranged so that front edges of said postal objects spaced apart from one another; said translating-lifting device ( 15 ) provided with at least one motor-driven belt ( 31 ) to receive at input said at least one group of postal objects fed by said flow-forming means ( 8 ) and to feed at output said at least one group of postal objects towards an input of one of said cells ( 18 ); said translating -lifting device ( 15 ) being mobile between at least one loading position, in which said translating-lifting device ( 15 ) is functionally coupled with said flow-forming means ( 8 ) to receive said at least one group of postal objects on said belt ( 31 ), and an unloading position, in which said translating-lifting device ( 15 ) is functionally coupled with said accumulation device ( 17 ) for the feed of said at least one group of postal objects towards a selected cell ( 18 ); said conveying system further comprising transmission means for mechanical transmission between said accumulation device and said translating-lifting device when said translating-lifting device is coupled to said accumulation device in the unloading position; said transmission means provided to transmit the motion mechanically from said translating-lifting device to the selected cell ( 18 ) for moving said group of postal objects within said cell ( 18 ) in said unloading position.
