Abstract: Sorting apparatus for flat, stackable articles, such as CDs, micro-cassettes, video tapes or similar articles. A single article is continuously removed from a stacked stock at the bottom side of the stack, and is then coded and moved forward by pushing members of a conveyor along an horizontal path, which is inclined transverse to the direction of travel. A series of discharge stations are positioned at the lower side of said path. The code applied ensures that each article is discharged at the correct station. Characterizing features of the apparatus are:1) the slanting position of both the stock, the path of travel and the conveyor;2) the adjustable bottom construction of the stock holder in conjunction with the pushing members of the conveyor.3) the transparent first portion of the path along which the objects are moved by the conveyor with scanning means and additional printers for stickers to be applied upon the passing articles.
