摘要： A method for creating mailpieces from a single web of printed material. The web of printed material includes printed matter to be used on envelopes, and other printed matter to be used on mail content to be included in the envelopes. The content pages are rectangular in shape and may be oriented relative to the envelope sheets in a number of different configurations. In some configurations, two sets of content pages and/or envelope sheets can be printed across the width of the web. The method starts with cutting consecutive sections of the web into separated sheets. Some of the separated sheets are envelope sheets including envelope printed matter, and some of the sheets are mail content sheets including mail content printed matter. The method includes cutting variable sized sheets depending on whether a sheet is a mail content sheet, or an envelope sheet. The method further includes cutting variable sized envelope sheets depending on the size of the mailpieces. In a preferred embodiment, the web includes business return envelopes (BREs). The BRE sheets are transported to an envelope creation path and in the envelope creation path where the sheets are formed into envelopes. The envelope creation path is then merged back with a content processing path whereby finished BRE's are stacked with their respective accumulations of folded content sheets to form a complete content stack. BRE's are then enclosed with the content sheets by the enclosing envelope sheets.

摘要： A method and apparatus are for decelerating a sheet of paper in a paper-cutting system. The sheet of paper is cut (705) using a cutter, and the sheet is then accepted (710) into a take-away nip. The take-away nip is operated (715) at an initial rate in order to move the sheet of paper away from the cutter at an initial speed. The take-away nip is then operated (735) at a rate decreasing to a final rate, in order to decelerate the sheet of paper to a final speed by the time the sheet of paper exits the take-away nip. The take-away nip is subsequently operated at the initial rate again, prior to accepting another sheet of paper at the initial speed.

摘要： An envelope hopper (10) having a plurality of bottom rods (30-34) to form a supporting surface for supporting a stack of envelopes (100) and a paddle (42) to push the envelopes towards an envelope feeder (20) at the downstream end. A scrub wheel (44) is rotatably mounted on a fixed, rotation axis on the paddle and is in contact with one of the bottom rods. The rotation axis of the scrub wheel is oriented at an angle relative to the rotation axis of the contacting rod, so that when the contacting rod rotates, it causes the scrub wheel to rotate, thereby producing a force on the paddle urging the paddle to move towards the downstream end. Preferably, the envelope hopper has a side rod (36) on one side of the envelope stack, and the supporting surface is tilted from the horizontal surface, so that the envelopes are moved towards the side rod by gravity in order to register against the side rod. Preferably, the side rod also rotates in order to reduce the friction between the envelope stack and the side rod.

摘要： The novel solution provides a method for feeding of individual envelopes (20) from a stack of envelopes (19) in a hopper (10) for an inserter machine. At the downstream end of the hopper, a friction feeder (26) serially feeds individual envelopes from the stack. A suction cup (30) is selectively actuated to engage with the envelope to pull a leading portion of the envelope away from the stack to assist the friction feeder in feeding envelopes. Selective actuation is based on monitoring downstream movement of fed envelopes. The suction cup is engaged when the envelopes travel a shorter distance than would be expected based on the movement of the feeder.

摘要： 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 vacuum deck for a mailpiece insertion module including a plurality of friction drive belts (12), a support plate slideably supporting the drive belts (12), a repositionable backstop assembly (30) disposed along the feed path of the envelope (14) for arresting the motion of the envelope when disposed in a first position and permitting the conveyance along the feed path (FP) when disposed in a second position, a means (VP1, VP2) for developing a pressure differential across the envelope for urging the envelope (14) into frictional engagement with the friction drive belts (12), and a breaker plate (40) disposed over and across an upstream portion of the friction drive belts (12) to reduce friction drive forces developed along an upstream end portion of the envelope (14). In another embodiment of the invention, the pressure differential means is bifurcated such that the pressure differential developed across the breaker plate (40) is lower than the pressure differential developed along the support plate and downstream of the breaker plate (40).
