ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to the creation of a swifter, cleaner, way of moistening envelope flaps to seal them. It represents an improvement over other designs of systems using nozzles in that it adjust for a variety of envelope flap shapes and lengths and depths. It is also an improvement over sponge or wick systems, since no glue build up is created. With a push of a button, a spray of water or sealing fluid, is directed to the flap, after symmetric geared adjustable arms, each arm geared at a pivot between them, are positioned (including a valve on each arm to adjust for a smaller envelope flap). After the envelope is positioned and the button is pushed, a spray of fluid falls upon the flap, directed downward by a number of nozzles on each arm, all connected to the pump and fluid reservoir by flexible tubes and conduits. The spring button returns to position, while drawing fluid up into the small piston pump to be used for another envelope. An electric version would utilize an electric solenoid to activate a piston pump, or use an electric rotary pump.
