A bin (101, 201, 301) that holds articles sorted out by a sorter has an inlet opening (102, 202, 302) for delivering the articles to an interior of the bin and a discharge device (103, 203, 303) for removing the articles therefrom, the discharge device being normally arranged below the inlet opening
A bin (101, 201, 301) that holds articles sorted out by a sorter has an inlet opening (102, 202, 302) for delivering the articles to an interior of the bin and a discharge device (103, 203, 303) for removing the articles therefrom, the discharge device being normally arranged below the inlet opening. The discharge device has a flap (104, 204, 304), pivotally supported for rotation about an axis (105, 205, 305), as well as two sidewalls (106, 206, 306), attached laterally to the flap. The bin includes a motion-guiding arrangement in which a guide track (107, 207, 307) and a pin (108, 208, 308) are arranged for complementary engagement in an operating state of the bin. Either the pin or the guide track is arranged on one of the sidewalls, with the other part arranged on a side of the bin.

The bin of claim 1, further comprising: a spring element, providing pre-tension to push the detent pin into the guide track. 3. The bin of claim 1, wherein: the guide track is configured as a slot that cuts through a thickness of the one of the sidewalls or the side of the bin or is configured as a groove in one of the sidewalls or at the side of the bin. 4. The bin of claim 3, wherein: the rotary axis is configured as a hinge, a first half of which is solidly connected to the flap and the other half of which is connected to the bin by way of at least two elongated holes that allow linear movement of the hinge in the direction of the elongated holes. 5. The bin of claim 1, wherein: the device, associated with the bin, that sorts out articles is at least one of: a checkweighing scale, a metal detection unit and an inspection apparatus based on electromagnetic radiation. 6. A bin, for use in association with a device that sorts out articles, to collect and hold the sorted-out articles, the bin comprising: an inlet opening for delivering the sorted-out articles into an interior thereof;a discharge device for discharging one or more of the sorted-out articles from the interior, the discharge device comprising a flap, supported pivotally for rotation about a rotary axis, and two sidewalls that are attached laterally to the flap; anda motion-guiding arrangement, comprising: a guide track, having a first and a second end position with at least one intermediate position therebetween, the guide track arranged either on a side of the bin or on one of the sidewalls of the flap, wherein each of the end positions and the intermediate positions is configured as a passage hole that is larger than a width of the guide track; anda pin arranged complementarily to the guide track on one of the sidewalls of the flap or on the side of the bin, so that the pin and the guide track are engaged in an operating state of the bin. 7. The bin of claim 6, wherein: the guide track is configured as a slot that cuts through a thickness of the one of the sidewalls or the side of the bin or is configured as a groove in one of the sidewalls or at the side of the bin. 8.
