Abstract
In a transport mechanism of a sorting machine for large thin objects, objects to be transported (paper sheets such as postal matter) stored in transport boxes can be made collectable into smaller collection boxes than the transport boxes. The transport boxes storing and transporting the paper sheets given sorting information are attached to a free chain which is supported by the rail that is twisted and always drives, and when it approaches a spot where the rail is twisted, the free chain is also twisted following the rail. The transport boxes attached to the free chain are also tilted at the same time, and the paper sheets reach an end surfaces on the side at which the transport boxes are lowered and are positioned. Since the rail gradually returns to a horizontal state just in front of the collection box, the paper sheets in the transport boxes reach above the predetermined collection boxes based on the sorting information while the positioned state is kept, drop, and are collected into the collection boxes with reliability without an error.
