Abstract
A machine for sorting articles carried by clips comprises suitable systems which are responsible for disengaging and engaging the clips "on the fly" from and on fixed and moving supports, which cooperate with transfer systems to convey the articles from a work station situated upstream of the machine to a series of receiving rods each corresponding to a given address. The articles are thus directed towards the receiving rods to be engaged on them as dictated by their final destinations.
