ABSTRACT:
An extraction apparatus which is particularly suited to the processing and extraction of contents from cumbersome envelopes and mail pouches incorporates a planar transport path which is sufficiently wide and appropriately oriented to receive relatively large or otherwise awkward envelopes, irrespective of their characteristics and the weight of their contents, for unimpeded transport through the apparatus without subjecting the envelopes to bending or other such distortions. A simplified transport path is provided to assure that the envelopes are appropriately conveyed, severed and presented for extraction without requiring any difficult or complicated processing operations which are inappropriate to the handling of such envelopes, and special attention is given to the station at which the envelopes are severed, to avoid damaging the contents of the envelope; to the station at which the extraction of contents takes place, to make sure that all contents of the envelope are extracted prior to discharge of the emptied envelope; and to the staion at which the envelopes are candled, to make sure that the envelopes have been emptied of all of their contents.
