ABSTRACT:
In an envelope-filling station for mail processing systems having an envelope-feeding arrangement for single, open envelopes, an intermediate envelope-conveying arrangement extending at an angle thereto in the direction of an angle stop arrangement provided for the purpose of aligning the envelope, and an envelope-advancing arrangement from which the envelopes are accepted from the angle stop arrangement, a simplification of the design, and effort needed to control the component parts is achieved when the angle stop arrangement, with the exception of a stopping straightedge that is to be provided to achieve extremely precise alignment of an envelope that is supplied at an angle, contains as a further part of the angle stop arrangement a conveying nip between the upper strand of an intermittently driven conveying belt of the envelope-advancing arrangement and a pressure-exerting roller that is pre-tensioned near the beginning of the upper strand of this conveying belt. The envelope-advancing arrangement has coupling means following the pressure-exerting roller that interact with the intermittently driven upper strand of the conveying belt of this envelope-advancing arrangement, in particular a roller bar that can be moved up and down, said means conveying an aligned envelope to a position in front of the feeding station, independent of the function of the pressure-exerting roller, and transporting the filled envelope out of the inserting station.
