Abstract

See full text

A bin (101, 201, 301) that holds articles sorted out by a sorter has an inlet opening (102, 202, 302) for delivering the articles to an interior of the bin and a discharge device (103, 203, 303) for removing the articles therefrom, the discharge device being normally arranged below the inlet opening. The discharge device has a flap (104, 204, 304), pivotally supported for rotation about an axis (105, 205, 305), as well as two sidewalls (106, 206, 306), attached laterally to the flap. The bin includes a motion-guiding arrangement in which a guide track (107, 207, 307) and a pin (108, 208, 308) are arranged for complementary engagement in an operating state of the bin. Either the pin or the guide track is arranged on one of the sidewalls, with the other part arranged on a side of the bin.
