ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed an envelope processing machine in the form of an improved envelope cutter apparatus adapted to sever one edge of envelopes in one by one relationship. The apparatus includes a supply hopper for retaining the envelopes to be processed, cutting means for severing one edge of the envelopes, means for removing envelopes in one by one relationship from the supply hopper and for transmitting the removed envelopes to the cutting means, and means for orienting the envelopes in respect to the cutting means. The orienting means includes a plurality of angularly disposed feed belts operable upon the envelope and an abutment member against which an envelope is engaged in its movement to the cutting means. In a preferred form of the invention, the orienting means includes first belt means for causing the envelopes to engage the abutment member in advance of the cutting means and second belt means for retaining the envelopes against the abutment member and as the envelopes are severed by the cutting means.
