Definitions

Figure 1 is an elevational view of an electronic franking machine of the prior art.
the electronic franking machine consists of a lower part such as 2 forming the base or the base of the machine and an upper part 4 mounted articulated in rotation about an axis 3 on the lower part in order to be able to be folded down on this lower part by forming a cover.
These two parts each have a closing edge opposite their articulation edge and cooperate together to form a tunnel 6 which, when the closing edges of the two parts 2 and 4 are substantially contiguous, completely envelops the conveyor of franking articles. described below.
the tunnel defines a guide path for mail items 7 to be franked which preferably extends parallel to the axis of rotation 3.
