Insertion machine provided with an apparatus for monitoring the position of an envelope

摘要

Machine which has means for supplying an envelope on a storage tray to a device for opening the flaps of the envelope and causing it to move forward via a platform with its base edge forwards and its open flap rearwards. Encoding means are connected in order to rotate in synchronization with one or more rollers which form part of the advance means. The machine has means for disconnecting the pushing action on the envelope in order to stop it at an insertion post, and a moistening arrangement. There is an envelope stop in a flap closure mechanism, the position of the stop being adjustable without the intervention of the user in response to information provided by the encoding means or by data entered via a keyboard. Applicable to the field of consignments of correspondence. <IMAGE>
