  • the shelves are made up of dividing elements, with which the individual shelves are separated are and one between a receiving position and a removal position relocatable, common to a number of stores Removal element are formed, the to the shelves transferred packages in the removal position of the removal element are separated from the subdivision elements.
  • Such trained shelves enable the shipping items to be removed several shelves without disabilities by the for the previous sorting required subdivision elements.
  • the conveyor cells of the device according to the invention can are formed particularly easily if they are two opposite one another, essentially vertical in the transfer section have aligned boundary walls and the insertion openings between essentially vertical in the transfer section extending free edges of these boundary walls are formed are.
  • the pre-sorted with the device explained above Shipping items are usually of the type for the individual Delivery districts responsible postman and before the Delivery according to the order of the individual delivery addresses on the route to be delivered sorted. This sorting of the packages is very good time consuming and therefore leads to a considerable delay the delivery of the package.
  • the Position in the order of the trays along the delivery section the position of the shipping address of the relevant package in the order of the shipping addresses corresponds to all of the packages handed over to the conveyor elements.
  • the number of pre-sorted for a delivery district Packages the number of conveyor cells of the invention Device exceeds the packages can initially in several operations with the device according to the invention sorted and then in a further sorting process for that in the individual operations according to the orderly Ordered packages are processed further.
  • the device allows the execution of a method for transferring mailpieces delivered in any order into an order arranged according to their mailing addresses, for a number of possible mailing addresses, in which the mailpieces are sent individually to a conveying cell in one order from a conveyor cell Number of conveying cells that can be conveyed along a conveying path are passed in succession, the assignment between each conveying cell and the assignment data representing the shipping item transferred to it is recorded, and the mailing items are selectively sent to a deposit in accordance with the ordered sequence in response to delivery signals that are generated on the basis of the assignment data a number of consecutive trays arranged along a delivery section of the conveying path are discharged, which is characterized in that on the basis of the ordered order d he shipping addresses of all the shipping items handed over to the conveyor cells and the assignment data for each of the shipping items transferred to the conveyor cells, a tray is determined, the position of which in the order of the trays along the delivery section, the position of the shipping address of the shipping item in question, in the order of
