Patent number: 8610020Abstract: A method including treating packs of overlapping postal objects for generating singulated postal objects, directing each postal object towards a respective outlet selected from among a number n of selectable outlets. The method includes performing a first sorting step, accumulating, within an i-th selected outlet, postal objects belonging to K subgroups having homogeneous delivery points, and carrying out a step of re-processing the previously sorted postal objects, whereby the postal objects taken from the outlets are treated for forming ordered sets of postal objects, each set comprising the postal objects belonging to a respective homogeneous subgroup and being formed by postal objects ordered according to successive delivery points; and performing a second step of sorting ordered sets, on the basis of which the postal objects that have corresponding positions within each subgroup are sent to the respective outlets. The objects are accumulated according to successive delivery points in the outlets.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2011Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: Elsag Datamat SpAInventors: Cristiano Franzone, Guido Teodoro De Leo
