Abstract: To provide a mail sorting and distributing transfer system, which extends transformable time of mail fed from a mail charging line so that the mail can be timely, reliably transferred to conveyor baskets on a mail sorting line, there is a mail sorting and distributing transfer system in which transfer timing levers maintain the receipt ports of transfer baskets provided on an outer circumferential edge of a sorting and distributing turntable in a state where the receipt ports of the transfer baskets are in registry with a mail charging line during the receipt of mail and where the lever pivots so it moves the associated transfer basket. Underlying conveyor baskets on a mail sorting line are moved parallel to and in synchronization with the transfer baskets during the transfer of the mail. The lever is pivoted about an axis parallel to the axis of the mail sorting and distributing turntable.

Abstract: A mail sorter, which can reliably sort mail while avoiding the breakage and the recovery mistake of mail released from conveyor baskets, which move on the mail sorting line in circulation. The mail sorter has a conveyor line with a conveying forward run and a conveying return run closely arranged back to back with each, and layered mail recovery box groups are disposed along a lower region of the conveying return run in parallel to each other. The mail recovery box groups comprise lowest stage boxes for recovering mail M released from conveyor baskets on the conveying forward run through a transverse deflection chute, middle stage boxes for recovering mail M released from the conveyor baskets on the conveying forward run through a discharge chute, and uppermost stage boxes for recovering mail M released from the conveying baskets on the conveying return run through a buffer chute.

Abstract: A copolymerized polyester resin composition comprising the following polyethylene terephthalate resin (A) and a polybutylene terephthalate resin (B), wherein the proportion of the resin (A) is from 50 to 95 wt %, and the proportion of the resin (B) is from 5 to 50 wt %, based on the total amount of the resins (A) and (B): Resin (A): a copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate resin, having a dicarboxylic acid component containing terephthalic acid as the main component and a diol component containing ethylene glycol as the main component copolymerized, wherein the dicarboxylic acid component contains isophthalic acid in an amount of from 3 to 30 mol % based on the total dicarboxylic acid component, and the diol component contains a cyclohexane dimethanol in an amount of from 3 to 40 mol % based on the total diol component.

Abstract: A method for producing a copolymerized polyester resin, which comprises subjecting a dicarboxylic acid component containing terephthalic acid or its ester derivative as the main component and a phenylene dioxydiacetic acid as a copolymerizable component, and a diol component containing ethylene glycol as the main component, to polycondensation through an esterification reaction or a transesterification reaction, wherein the phenylene dioxydiacetic acid is added to the reaction system in the form of a solution dissolved in the diol component.

Abstract: In an apparatus for sorting articles on hangers, a chain pushes articles along an elongated guide rail. The guide rail has a series of gaps, each of which is normally bridged by a pivoted sorting member. At an open gap, the articles are diverted to a horizontal transfer apparatus comprising a rotatable, disc-shaped, article-receiving member. The receiving member conveys articles to the upper end of a downwardly inclined sorting chute. A ridge-shaped, arcuate guide extends along a portion of the perimeter of each receiving member to prevent articles from falling off the receiving member. The horizontal transfer apparatus enable the chutes to be positioned laterally away from the guide rail so that they do not interfere with movement of hangers having horizontal shoulders.

Abstract: An article storage rack apparatus for storing and dispensing articles in first-in, first-out order comprises side-by-side columns of slant racks, in which alternate slant racks in each column are inclined downwardly in opposite direction. Articles are introduced onto the topmost slant rack and slide downward by gravity to successively lower slant racks. The articles are transferred from a slant rack to the next lower slant rack by a transfer mechanism comprising tables which are movable vertically and tiltable. The articles are maintained in the same orientation as they slide down the array of slant racks. At the lower end of the bottom slant rack, the articles are dispensed, by a tilting table dispenser, in the same order in which they were introduced onto the top slant rack.
