ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an inserter station for mail processing systems, consisting of a feeder device (2) for transporting inserts, an envelope separation device for separating envelopes from a stack of envelopes, also comprising a mail transport device (6) which is located parallel to the transport track of the feeder device extending close thereto in order to take up the individual envelopes, further comprising orienting means (30,32) for positioning an envelope to be filled in a precise position in front of an insertion device (35). According to the invention, the complex action of orienting the envelopes to be filled on the path between the envelope separation device (7) and the insertion device (35) is simplified by configuring the envelope transport device (6) at least in one end section adjacent to the intermediate envelope transport device (16) such that the envelope can be horizontally displaced with the aid of a displacement component perpendicular to the direction of transport of the intermediate envelope transport device (16). The intermediate envelope transport device (16) has a direction of transport extending at an angle (alpha) in relation to the direction of transport of the envelope transport device and can extract a transported envelope in an oblique position with respect to the horizontal direction and transport it against an angle stop device (30,32) which can be switched either actively or inactively at random and which in an active position produces a precise orientation of the envelope to be filled with inserts or series of inserts.
