Abstract
A device for filling and removing containers (8, 9) for sorted mail. The containers are filled from two sorting points (2, 3) of a sorting device (1) that are arranged in two rows one above the other and can be transferred to a storage and transport device (10). A telescopic retaining mechanism (4) for holding two containers (8, 9) one behind the other is located beneath the two sorting points (2, 3) that are arranged one above the other, the mechanism being extended halfway to fill the front container (9) or completely to fill the rear container (8) or both containers (8, 9).
