ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a new and improved envelope processing machine. The machine includes an envelope hopper for storing a quantity of envelopes to be processed, an envelope processing station, spaced from the hopper, a table top surface adjacent the processing station providing a work surface for an operator, and incrementing conveyor means extending beside the table top surface and from the hopper past the processing station. The conveyor means is arranged for incrementally conveying the envelopes a predetermined distance in immediate succession from the hopper to the processing station through at least one intermediate stop position between the hopper and the processing station. As a result, sufficient spacing between the hopper and the processing station is provided to permit the table top surface to be dimensioned for providing a sufficient work surface area for an operator while still maintaining an efficient processing rate.
