Claims20
An apparatus for inserting one or more goods into an envelope, comprising:
- a goods transport that moves one or more goods along a filling path;
- an envelope transport that moves the envelope along the filling path;
- and
- at least one filling aid that moves at least partially into the envelope and is maintained within the envelope during at least a part of the movement of the envelope, such that the at least one filling aid guides the one or more goods to be inserted into the envelope without moving the envelope;
- wherein
- during inserting of the one or more goods into the envelope, the envelope transport continuously moves the envelope in an envelope transport direction and the goods transport continuously moves the one or more goods in a goods transport direction;
- the filling path extends in the envelope transport direction and the goods transport direction;
- and
- an opening of the envelope extends perpendicular to the envelope transport direction.
