Abstract
An anti-jamming diverter comprising a kicker gate at each pocket of a mail sort machine for 'kicking' the tail of a letter away from the point of entry into the pocket so that the next letter can enter the pocket without jamming. The kicker gate, when actuated, aligns with the actuated gate of the pocket to allow smooth entry of a letter from the transport into the pocket. Upon deactuation, the kicker returns to its original position thereby 'kicking' the tail of the letter inwardly into the pocket.
