Abstract:
An apparatus for sorting parcels is described comprising a transport surface configured to convey parcels between a first end and a second end thereof. An opening defined in the transport surface is dimensioned to receive one or more of the parcels therethrough. The transport surface comprises a plurality of surface segments having a selected geometry and surface characteristics for controlling speeds of the parcels as they are conveyed. The apparatus further comprises a routing manifold having a chute having an inlet registered with the opening, a plurality of outlets coupled to the inlet, and a first diverter system comprising one or more diverters disposed in the routing manifold and operable to selectively direct the received parcels toward any outlet of the plurality of outlets. The one or more diverters may be responsive to destination information associated with the individual parcels.

Claim (Index 4):
The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the plurality of diverters comprises:\n a first tilting tray arranged in a first stage, the first tilting tray actuatable to selectively direct individual parcels between at least a first path and a second path; a second tilting tray arranged in a second stage and coupled with the first path, the second tilting tray actuatable to selectively direct individual parcels between at least a third path and a fourth path; and a third tilting tray arranged in the second stage and coupled with the second path, the third tilting tray actuatable to selectively direct individual parcels between at least a fifth path and a sixth path, wherein each of the third path, fourth path, fifth path, and sixth path is coupled with a respective one or more outlets of the plurality of outlets.
