Abstract
A sorting apparatus for sheets of documents or the like, in which the sheets are conveyed on a conveyor belt, and are deflected by controllable deflectors into stacker bins. Roller transporters convey the sheets of documents from the deflector into each stacker bin. The drive of the roller transporters is effected by a driven belt common to the roller transporters of all stacker bins; this belt is activated only for the specifically chosen stacker bin with the roller transporter (26) corresponding to this bin. This actuation is accomplished by a clutch wheel which is tilted by a lever activating the deflector.
