Abstract
An auger jogger assembly for a high speed item sorter pocket receptacle wherein a fixed shaft carries the armature of an electric drive eddy current motor. The fixed nonmagnetic reluctance member of which is a thin cylindrical metallic sleeve-like member press fitted into the cylindrical opening of a rotatable cylinder which carries about its periphery two volute or helical augers of differing diameters and spacings. The drive shaft and armature of the motor are fixed against rotation while the cylindrical reluctance member is secured within and rotatable with the rotatable cylinder. Energization of the motor armature causes the external cylinder to rotate effective to move item/documents into the pocket receptacle while vibrating the document sufficiently so as to reduce receptacle floor friction and force the items into a closely stacked bunch or pack.
