    摘要: Apparatus for receiving sheets fed in a first direction and guiding and controlling the sheets through a right angle turn includes at least one right angle turn over module which includes a lower plate with an input belt assembly for receiving the first documents conveyed thereto in a first direction; an upper plate including a 45.degree. turn over section cantilevered above the lower plate, and a turning guide positioned adjacent to the turn over section. The upper plate includes a plurality of output rollers rotatably mounted in the top of the upper plate and oriented for moving sheets at a right angle direction to the first direction. The turning guide includes an upwardly curved edge that extends a fixed distance from the turn over section for guiding sheets around the turn over section. An output belt assembly is suspended above the upper plate for conveying sheets in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction. The output belt assembly includes an endless belt moving around at least two rollers and further including structure for applying a normal force to the lower reach of the belt directly above each of the output rollers in the upper plate whereby the upper belt and the output rollers cooperate to convey the sheets out of the turn over section of the upper plate.

    摘要: Improvement to an apparatus for singulating respective documents fed thereto, the apparatus comprising first document feeding structure including first and second document feeding structure adjacent one another. The improvement is to the second document feeding structure and comprises a first section including an upstream end and a downstream end, the upstream end being pivotally mounted to a frame member, and including at least two outboard endless belts therearound and second structure for moving the outboard belts upstream relative to a path of travel in vertically spaced second belt runs; and a second section having at least two inboard endless belts therearound. The second section is pivotably mounted at one end to the first section. There is structure for coupling movement of the outboard belts of the first section to movement of the inboard belts of the second section for driving the inboard belts of the second section upstream relative to a path of travel in vertically spaced second section belt runs; and structure for resiliently urging the second section belt runs into interleaving relationship with the first belt runs, and for resiliently urging the downstream end of the first section belt runs towards the first belt runs. The urging structure enables the first and second sections to laterally flexed about the coupling structure in response to the documents fed thereto.

    摘要: In a machine including structure for feeding an unsealed envelope downstream in a path of travel, wherein the envelope has a body portion and a flap portion folded in overlying relationship with the body portion and has a free edge, there is provided apparatus for unfolding the flap portion of an envelope. The apparatus includes a first guide member extending parallel to the path of travel; a finger member rotatable into engagement with the flap portion for bending the body portion against the first guide member to form a gap between the flap portion and body portion; a second guide member extending into the path of travel for engaging an envelope fed thereto downstream of the finger member; structure for sensing an envelope in the path of travel; structure responsive to the sensing structure for causing the finger member to rotate into engagement with the flap portion when the envelope is fed downstream in the path of travel; and the second guide member dimensioned for entry into the gap and progressively moving the free edge of the flap portion away from the body portion when the feeding structure feeds the envelope into engagement with the second guide member.

    摘要: The present invention concerns a document processing and collating machine having a feeding path leading to at least one document conveying devices having one or more document accumulating bins for receiving a series of documents that are fed downstream in spaced apart collations with documents in shingled relationship. The document accumulator bins have an intermediate conveying and diverting apparatus which is momentarily engaged to cause a leading end of a shingled collation of documents to be diverted into a document accumulating bin where the documents are registered at their common leading end at a nip of a set of downstream conveying rollers that are stopped during the registration process.

    摘要: A buckle chute having a stop to cause a sheet of document entering the buckle chute to buckle for making a folded edge. The ends of stop are threadably engaged with two lead screws, which are mechanically linked together by a chain, so that the lead screws can be simultaneously turned in order to adjust the position of both ends of the stop. Each end of the stops has a split nut with grooves for engaging with the threads of the lead screws. The split nut can be disengaged from the threads so that the position of one or both ends of the stop can be adjusted.

    摘要: Apparatus and method for variable opening of an envelope is disclosed. The apparatus includes a device for supporting the front panel and flap of an envelope in a plane, and a vacuum bar assembly situated above the supporting device, the assembly having a vacuum cup for gripping the back panel of the envelope. The apparatus includes a device for moving the vacuum cup downward to grip the envelope back panel and to move the cup upward a predetermined distance whereby the back panel is separated from the front panel to thereby open the envelope a predetermined amount. The apparatus also includes a measuring system for measuring the thickness of successive collations, and means responsive to the measuring system for controlling the amount of movement of the vacuum cups so that the predetermined amount of movement thereof varies from envelope to envelope to open each successive envelope only the amount required to accept the collation intended for that envelope.
