ABSTRACT:
An inserting machine of the type having an insert raceway, insert stations along the raceway, and an envelope-stuffing station at the end of the raceway, further includes a pocket stuffing station for stuffing a card or the like into a pocket formed on an insert sheet. The pocket on the insert sheet is open along one edge thereof which is directed toward the side of the conveyor from which the card will be stuffed into the pocket. The insert sheet includes a portion which extends beyond the insert pocket and this portion is on the bottom when the insert sheet is on the raceway. When the insert sheet is at the pocket stuffing station a suction mechanism lifts the upper side of the pocket while a guide holds the portion extending beyond the insert pocket down, thereby spreading the pocket's open edge. Pusher fingers then push the card into the pocket.
