A method and system for closing opened envelopes flaps against the envelope body includes transporting an envelope (6) in a first direction and parking the envelope in a first parked position (Fig. 2). An envelope flap closing mechanism (24) is moved to commence the movement of the envelope flap (8) toward said envelope body (10). The envelope flap (8) is closed against the envelope body (10) while transporting the envelope in a second direction toward a second parked position. The flap closing mechanism (24) may be moveable from a lower position to an upper position. The envelope flap closing system may include a first transport path of travel for envelopes (6) to be moved seriatim in a first direction from an entrance point to an exit point. A moveable flap closing mechanism (24) is mounted along the path of travel for movement between a lower position and an upper position. The flap closing mechanism (24) has an upper guide surface (27) and a lower guide surface The flap closing mechanism upper guide surface (27) provides a guide surface as part of the first path of travel for envelopes being transported in the first direction when said flap closing mechanism is in said lower position. The flap closing mechanism lower guide surface provides a guide surface as part of a second path of travel for envelopes being transported in a second direction when the flap closing mechanism is in the upper position.

A sheet feeder for feeding sheets from a sheet stack (400), having a feed deck (106) for supporting the sheet stack and a pair of spaced apart parallel guide rails on the feed deck for receiving the sheet stack between the guide rails. A sheet feeding assembly is mounted in proximity to a sheet feeding end of the feed deck and is operative to feed individual lowermost sheets from the sheet stack (400), the sheet feeding assembly including a continuously rotating feed drum (202) having an inner and outer circumference and a plurality of suction openings and a vacuum assembly received in the inner circumference of the feed drum and having at least one rotating cylinder (220) coupled to a vacuum source and movable between an actuated position for drawing air downward through the portion of the feed drum (202) extending above the planar surface of the feed deck (106) and a default position preventing the drawing of air through the feed drum when a vacuum is applied to the at least one rotating cylinder.

A collation folding device (12) comprising one or more fold rollers (36) mounted in fixed positions. Below and adjacent to the fold rollers are adjustable nip rollers (38) to form nip spacing between the rollers. The adjustable nip roller is mounted on a nip axis shaft (40). An adjustment mechanism (48) is used for moving the nip axis shaft to adjust the nip spacing. The nip adjustment mechanism includes a bearing block cam follower (51) on which the nip axis shaft is fixedly mounted and supported. An eccentric cam (52) in operative contact with the bearing block cam follower. Rotation of the eccentric cam on the eccentric cam axis drives the bearing block cam follower in its linear motion to adjust the nip spacing.

摘要:
A method and device for collating a number of sheets, serially and separately entering an entry point, into a stack at an exiting point without slowing down or pausing the sheets. The method and device, according to the present invention, provide a plurality of traveling paths (P1,P2,P3) with different path lengths to connect the entry point (12) and exiting point (14), and use controlling devices to control the paths such that a sheet entering the entry point (12) will travel a shorter path than the preceding sheet. It is preferred that the path length difference between any two adjacent paths is the same. The path length difference can be smaller than or equal to the length of the sheets. When the path length difference is equal to the sheet length, all sheets travel through different paths will arrive the exiting point (14) concurrently.

The present invention relates to a method and system for supplying document accumulation sets to an inserter system wherein sheets are first feed into a sheet stacking device (118) to be stacked into a stacking pile (120). Individual sheets are then fed in seriatim from the stacking pile (120) into a collating device (600), which collates a predetermined number of the individual sheets into a collation set (129). The collation (129) set is then advanced into an accumulating device (700), which accumulates at least one collation set (129) to form an accumulation set (131). The accumulation set (131) is then advanced into the inserter system for further processing.
