Patent

CA 2386070

The invention relates to sorting items of mail in a plurality of sorting passes. In order not to have to read the address in each sorting pass and also not to have to print any machine-readable identification code on each item of mail, features characteristic of the items of mail are additionally determined during the first sorting pass and are stored together with distribution codes determined in the reading process. During the subsequent sorting passes only the characteristic features of the items of mail are measured and compared with the stored features. In the event of agreement, the item of mail is assigned the associated distribution code. A particular feed regime with defined orders ensures that in each case only n items of mail have to be compared, where n = maximum multiple delivery rate to be expected.

L'invention concerne le tri d'envois en plusieurs passes de tri. Pour qu'il ne soit pas nécessaire, pendant chaque passe de tri, de lire l'adresse de chaque envoi et également d'imprimer des codes d'identification lisibles par une machine sur chaque envoi, des éléments caractéristiques des envois sont en outre déterminés lors de la première passe de tri puis mémorisés avec les codes de répartition déterminés pendant le processus de lecture. Lors des passes de tri suivantes, seuls les éléments caractéristiques des envois sont encore mesurés et comparés avec les éléments caractéristiques mémorisés. En cas de concordance, le code de distribution correspondant est affecté à l'envoi. Un régime d'amenée particulier, selon un ordre défini, garantit que chaque fois seulement <i>n</i> envois doivent être comparés, <i>n</i> représentant la vitesse de retrait multiple probable.
