ABSTRACT:
Modular apparatus is disclosed for moistening and sealing an envelope flap. The apparatus comprises a base, in which a moistener is disposed and in which part of a transporter for moving an envelope to and past the moistener is also disposed. A cover in which the remaining portion of the transporter is disposed is pivoted to the base so that the cover may be pivoted open to expose the envelope path and the parts of the transporter in the base and in the cover. A pair of sealing rollers, one mounted to the base and the other to the cover, are disposed in the same module as the moistener downstream from the moistener. Providing part of the transporter in the base and part in the cover, and pivotally mounting the cover to base enables one to quickly gain access to the envelope path simply by unlatching the cover and pivoting it away from the base. This enables an operator to quickly gain access to the envelope path to remove a jammed envelope.
