Abstract

The sending device sends transporting containers (40) of a distributing conveyor with flat mail items (20,22). A linear conveyor (10) is in friction contact with the main surface (21) of the mail items. This conveyor transfers the mail items to the transporting containers. The device includes a turning body (30) on an axis (32) running perpendicular to the conveying direction (50) of the linear conveyor. This turning body is in friction contact with the other main surface (23) of the mail items on a rolling-off zone (38) of its endface at the rear end of the linear conveyor.
