ABSTRACT:
A collating, folding and inserting system having a plurality of collating stations arranged in series along a feed path. Documents are collated in seriatim along the feed path, and are then collectively stuffed into an envelope at a stuffing station located downstream of the collating stations. One or more of the collating stations can comprise a combination document folding mechanism and a document feeding mechanism. The folding and feeding combination comprises a folder feed roller for feeding one document at a time into a folding apparatus which discharges a folded document into said feeding mechanism. The feeding mechanism comprises a discharging roller which receives the folded document and discharges it to a chain driven gripper operatively movable along the feed path. The folder feed roller and the discharge feed roller are synchronously energized so that as a new document is fed into the folding apparatus at substantially the same time that a prior folded document is discharged into the feed path of the system.
