摘要： A moistener for applying liquid to an envelope, for use in sealing the latter, comprises a liquid storage tank (70a, 70b) and means, such as wicks (71) for transporting the liquid to the envelope (not shown). The level of liquid in the tank is visible to a user through a window (73). In use of the moistener it is fully inserted into a housing (not shown) but with the window visible to the user. Partial removal of the moistener from the housing permits the tank to be filled with liquid via an opening (76).

摘要： A method and apparatus for folding inserts by inverting the insert sheet after the first fold is made and reintroducing the folded insert sheet into a first buckle chute from the opposite end. The second fold is then made in a second buckle chute which results in either a bottom address or a middle address appearing on the folded insert in a manner that the address will appear through the window of the envelope.

摘要： Sheet collation apparatus is disclosed in which an initial sheet (A1) from a sheet feeder (4) is advanced to a collation station (10), reversed into an accumulation station (8) and then returned to the collation station where it is collated with the next sheet (A2) from the sheet feeder. This process may be repeated any number of times to form a collation of sheets of any required number.

摘要： A laser printer has a circulating photoreceptor belt 20 and a transfer station 4 at which toner images are transferred from the belt to copy sheets. Each copy sheet is registered, upstream of the transfer station 4, in the nip of registration rolls 12 before being fed to the transfer station. The copy sheet is fed to the registration rolls 12 (which at that time are stationary) by feed rolls 13, 14 which continue to rotate so that a buckle is formed in the sheet to assist in removing any de-skew. When the sheet has been registered, the registration rolls 12 are rotated and, initially, are accelerated to a speed about 20% greater than the normal operating speed. That has the effect of decreasing the amount of buckle in the sheet before the trail end of the sheet reaches the registration rolls. When the buckle has been reduced, the speed of the rolls is reduced to the normal operating level, which is typically about the same as the speed of the photoreceptor belt.

摘要翻译： 激光打印机具有循环感光带20和转印站4，在该转印站4处，调色剂图像从带传送到复印纸。 每个复印纸在进给到转印站之前在转印站4的上游注册在定位辊12的辊隙中。 复印纸通过进给辊13,14送到定位辊12（这时它是静止的），进给辊13,14继续旋转，从而在片材中形成带扣以帮助消除任何脱斜。 当纸张已被登记时，对准辊12旋转，并且最初被加速到比正常操作速度大约20％的速度。 这具有在片材的尾端到达对准辊之前减少片材中的带扣量的效果。 当扣环已经减少时，辊的速度降低到正常的操作水平，其通常与感光带的速度大致相同。

摘要： A materials handling system includes a feeder station having a plurality of material feeders and an insertion subsystem. Each of the plurality of feeders are connected to a common material transport path. A first material transport path is connected to the common material transport path and to the insertion subsystem. A second material transport path is connected to the common material transport path and to the insertion subsystem. A third material transport path is connected to the first material transport path and to said insertion subsystem. The second material transport path may include a materials processing subsystem such as a folder subsystem. The common materials transport may include a pre-fold accumulator transport having a pre-fold accumulator gate. A first diverter may be provided to selectively divert materials being transported by the pre-fold accumulator transport to the first or to the second material transport. A second diverter may also be provided to selectively divert materials traveling along the first materials transport to the third material transport.

摘要： A materials handling system includes an insertion subsystem for inserting materials into envelopes to form mailpieces of a first type and mailpieces of a second type. The materials handling syatem also includes a first mailpiece transport path located downstream from the insertion subsystem and having a curved portion along which mailpieces of said first type are transported, and a second mailpiece transport path being substantially horizontal, located downstream from the insertion subsystem, and along which mailpieces of the second type are transported. Further, a diverter is included that diverts mailpieces of the first type to the first transport path and mailpieces of the second type to the second transport path.
