摘要

The device has an open inclined cylinder drum, with an outer jacket formed by rotating longitudinal rollers (35). The rollers are positioned in groups (37) in inward directed steps (36), with each group containing the same number of rollers. Neighboring roller units may overlap partially and define a passage (65) for the letters etc. to be sorted. At least one of the rollers in each step is rotated about its longitudinal axis by a drive (38).
