ABSTRACT:
An envelope filling machine including conveyor apparatus for transporting individual envelopes from a feed station to a filling station for receiving an insert therein. Positioned intermediate the feed and the filling stations there is provided a spreading device for opening the mouth of the envelope and a dampener device for moistening the gummed flap of the envelope. The conveyor apparatus is arranged to transport an envelope to the filling station in a feeding direction in a first transport plane and, in response to completion of an envelope stuffing operation, the conveyor apparatus is pivoted into a second transport plane inclined downwardly towards the feed station. A drive means is provided for driving the conveyor apparatus in the feeding direction to advance the envelope to the filling station and, alternately, driving the conveyor means in the opposite direction, in response to movement of the conveyor apparatus to the inclined position, for transporting the stuffed envelope from the filling to a discharge station.
