摘要： In an apparatus for handling sheet-like articles, in particular in an envelope-filling station, the smoothness of running is increased, even in the case of high cycle speeds, in that a guide control means is provided so that push-in fingers, which are moved back and forth by an actuating arrangement, can be lowered and raised relative to a base plate both in the operating stroke and in the return stroke, it being the case that provided for the operating stroke is a framework-side guide part and for the return stroke is a diverter-like changeover guide part, which is actuated by the guide contact element itself and ensures in each case smooth transitions to the housing-side guide part.

摘要： In a gripper mechanism for devices for handling sheet-like or plate-like articles, particularly for mail-processing machines, simple and reliable setting for the handling of light, thin and also heavy, thick articles can be effected by the use of pivotable gripper claws on the gripper hand provided at the end of a pivotable gripper arm, by virtue of the fact that a plane which is oriented approximately perpendicular to the gripper arm longitudinal axis, and in which the contact area between articles to be handled and a pivotable gripper claw also lies, is at such a distance in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the gripper arm from the pivot axis of this pivotable gripper claw that an additional pivoting moment acts on the latter in the closure direction, generated under the effect of tensile forces which seek to remove the articles to be handled from the gripper claws when these are closed, as a result of which articles of widely varying weight and varying thickness are at all times gripped securely.

摘要： An envelope-filling station for mail-processing systems. The station includes an enclosure feeder for transporting enclosures to an inserting arrangement pushing enclosures into envelopes in the same direction as the enclosure feeder. An envelope supply is positioned parallel to the enclosure feeding device. Envelopes are diagonally transported from the envelope supply to the inserting arrangement by an intermediate transport. A movable stop, in an active state, holds an envelope received in position for insertion of enclosures. When the movable stop is changed to an inactive state the filled envelope can be conveyed away from the envelope-filing station. The movable stop has a further intermediate stop position in which the stop is moved back, by a comparatively small distance in relation to the push-in movement, such that, under the driving frictional action of the intermediate envelope-conveying device, the filled envelope comes free of the push-in arrangement in the push-in direction.

摘要： Disclosed is an inserter station for mail processing systems, consisting of a feeder device (2) for transporting inserts, an envelope separation device for separating envelopes from a stack of envelopes, also comprising a mail transport device (6) which is located parallel to the transport track of the feeder device extending close thereto in order to take up the individual envelopes, further comprising orienting means (30,32) for positioning an envelope to be filled in a precise position in front of an insertion device (35). According to the invention, the complex action of orienting the envelopes to be filled on the path between the envelope separation device (7) and the insertion device (35) is simplified by configuring the envelope transport device (6) at least in one end section adjacent to the intermediate envelope transport device (16) such that the envelope can be horizontally displaced with the aid of a displacement component perpendicular to the direction of transport of the intermediate envelope transport device (16). The intermediate envelope transport device (16) has a direction of transport extending at an angle (alpha) in relation to the direction of transport of the envelope transport device and can extract a transported envelope in an oblique position with respect to the horizontal direction and transport it against an angle stop device (30,32) which can be switched either actively or inactively at random and which in an active position produces a precise orientation of the envelope to be filled with inserts or series of inserts.

摘要： A drive and actuating system for an envelope-filling station in which enclosures or sets of enclosures are fed, by a driven conveyor, to a push-in station in which a push-in arrangement, which has a pivot drive, receives the enclosures or sets of enclosures and pushes them into envelopes, which are held ready in an open state. The envelopes are then delivered into a position opposite the push-in station, from oriented transversely to the push-in direction, by an envelope-conveying arrangement. Further, a multiplicity of functions of the individual parts of the envelope-filling station can be forcibly synchronized in an adjustable manner and a comparatively straightforward and clear construction of the overall drive and actuating system is produced.

摘要： In a drive system for a mail processing machine a comparatively simple and clear design of the driving tracks and of the bearings for the respective shafts is obtained by feeding drive energy from a common drive motor to a bevel gear drive and a step gear drive. Thereby, the output shafts of the bevel gear drive and the step gear drive have identical sense of rotation because of the sense of rotation reversal within the respective gear drive. The bevel gear drive, at its output, provides a continuous rotation, and the step gear drive provides an intermittent rotation. From the output shafts of the bevel gear drive and of the step gear drive, respectively, driving connections can be led to the driving shafts for a continuously moved conveyor chain for documents and to an intermittently moved conveyor chain for documents, respectively.
