Abstract
A mailpiece selector device for separating mailpieces one-by-one from a stack of mailpieces and for transporting them downstream. The mailpiece selector device includes a first guide cooperating with a plurality of opposite selector rollers to select the mailpieces one-by-one and for transporting them downstream. The first guide is able to pivot about a pivot axis in opposition to first resilient return and the first guide has a reference plate designed to cooperate with a magnet that is secured to a framework of the device to prevent the first guide from pivoting in this way below a predetermined mailpiece thickness.
