Abstract
A machine and a process for the automatic enveloping of messages with a variable number of sheets provide; the supply of message sheets on a first accumulating plane (9, 48); the supply of envelope sheets on a second accumulating plane (17, 28, 29), which forms an angle with the first accumulating plane, such as to obtain the overlaying of the front ends of the envelope sheets and message sheets; the simultaneous feeding of the envelope and message sheets such that complete overlaying therebetween is obtained; and the simultaneous folding of the envelope sheets and message sheets, obtaining an envelope.
Claims12
A process for the automatic enveloping of messages with a variable number of sheets, starting as single envelope sheets (2) and unfolded message sheets, comprising:
- a) supplying one or more message sheets and releasing said one or more message sheets to a first accumulating plane (9, 48) limited to accumulating message sheets and comprising a first tray (9) and a platen (48);
- b) supplying an envelope sheet (2) and releasing said envelope sheet to a second accumulating plane (17, 28, 29), said second accumulating plane forming an angle with said first accumulating plane (9, 48), to obtain overlaying of front ends of said envelope sheet (2) and said one or more message sheets, after release, said second accumulating plane (17, 28, 28) comprising a second tray (29) apt to be in contact with said first tray (9);
- c) simultaneously feeding said envelope sheet (2) and said one or more message sheets so that the complete overlaying therebetween is obtained;
- d) simultaneously folding said envelope sheet (2) and said one or more message sheets, obtaining an envelope.
A machine for the automatic enveloping of messages with a variable number of sheets, comprising:
- first means (8;
- 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19) for supplying one or more message sheets;
- a first accumulating plane (9, 48) limited to only accumulating one or more message sheets, located downstream of said first means (8;
- 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19) for supplying said one or more message sheets and comprising a first tray (9) and a platen (48);
- second means (16, 25, 26, 27) for supplying an envelope sheet;
- a second accumulating plane (17, 28, 29) for accumulating said envelope sheet, located downstream of said second means (16, 25, 26, 27) for supplying said envelope sheet, said second accumulating plane forming an angle with the first accumulating plane (9, 48), to obtain overlaying of from ends of said envelope sheet (2) and said one or more message sheets, said second accumulating plane (17, 28, 29) comprising a second tray (29) apt to be in contact with said first tray (9);
- means (20) for simultaneously feeding said one or more message sheets and said envelope sheet (2), obtaining complete overlaying thereof;
- and
- means (36;
- 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47) for simultaneously folding said envelope sheet (20, and said one or more message sheets, obtaining an envelope.
