Method and apparatus for exposing contents of an opened envelope with gravity assist.

摘要

A method and apparatus is disclosed for exposing the contents (32) of an envelope (24) which has two opposing panels (26,28) wherein the panels have been separated from each other along all but one edge portion (30) where the panels remain connected. The envelope (24) is gripped on one (26) of the panels (26, 28) and then the envelope (24) is oriented so that at least the contents (32) of the envelope (24) fall away from the gripped panel to thereby expose the envelope contents (32).
