ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A sorting conveyor for flat rectangular items has a guide surface extending in a conveying direction; a drive continuously moving along the guide surface in the conveying direction; a plurality of pusher fingers attached in a spaced relationship to the drive for individually engaging and serially conveying the items along the guide surface in the conveying direction; and at least one feeding station operatively coupled to the sorting conveyor for introducing items thereinto. Each feeding station comprises a feeding panel disposed laterally of the guide surface for receiving the items to be introduced into the sorting conveyor; a feeding conveyor arranged in the zone of the feeding panel for advancing each item onto the guide surface such that a lower, support edge of the advanced item forms an acute angle with the guide surface and a leading edge of the advanced item is substantially parallel to the guide surface and perpendicular to the conveying direction; and a control circuit connected to the feeding conveyor and including sensors and signaling arrangements generating output signals for initiating a feeding cycle of the feeding conveyor at such a moment as to effect the introduction of each item from the feeding panel into an unoccupied conveying compartment defined between any two pusher fingers. - 1 -
