Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of treatment of mail and it relates more particularly to a receiving device envelopes for a document folding and insertion machine.
  • the folding and insertion machines conventionally comprise three main elements: an empty envelope feeder, a document feeder to be placed in these envelopes, a folding station for these documents incorporating one or more pockets of folding and a document insertion station folded in the envelopes empty.
  • the envelopes closed or not are ejected through a machine outlet slot into a receiving device disposed at the outlet of this machine and intended for receive these envelopes.
  • these machines can process mail items of any type and any format and the device for reception must therefore be able to receive and store correctly all these mail items. Therefore, these devices are for the most of which consist of a simple box in which mail items of all formats are stored flat and loose in a low stack capacity (approximately 100 to 200 envelopes of average thickness), as and measure of their treatment.
  • the receiving device When the receiving device is attached to the machine, it is more often by means of fixings whose installation requires lift the machine at least partially, which may be the cause accidents.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome these drawbacks by offering a compact receiving device (i.e. with space requirement ergonomic, particularly suitable for a folding machine and insertion and which does not need to be removed to extract the mail items it contains.
  • An object of the invention is also to propose a device whose attachment to the machine is simple and does not does not require any modification of its structure.
  • a device for receiving articles from mail to receive mail items ejected from a slot output of a folding and inserting machine comprising a plate support on which the ejected mail items will accumulate, a front wall on which these mail items will come up when of their ejection, two side walls and a rear wall intended for crop these mail items after they fall on the plate support, said support plate comprising two notches made of on either side of its longitudinal axis at its connection with said front wall, and said two side walls each comprising, at level of this notch and over their entire height, an opening characterized in that said rear wall includes means for hooking by socket to secure the receiving device to the folding and inserting machine.
  • the installation of the device is quick and easy and removing envelopes is also very simple without having to touch the receiving tray.
  • the attachment means comprise two clamps intended to cooperate with the front feet of the machine. So the centering provided by the clamps guarantees perfect ejection of envelopes.
  • the side walls have each one outside corner without sharp corner.
  • the bottom wall incorporating the attachment means is reinforced by ribs.
  • the device is produced by molding in a single piece of plastic and the side walls and the front wall are made of a transparent material.
  • a folding and insertion machine as illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 conventionally comprises: a feeder in empty envelopes 10, a document feeder 12 which can include one or two trays automatic feeder 12A, 12B, a document folding station 14 comprising one or more folding pockets and an insertion station 16 of documents intended to insert the documents thus folded into a empty envelope from feeder 10.
  • This insertion station can possibly be followed by a bonding station (not shown) to close the envelopes thus loaded.
  • the closed envelopes are then ejected through an outlet slot 18 located on a front face of the folding and inserting machine.
  • This machine rests on a table work 20 by means of four front feet 22A and rear 22B advantageously adjustable in height, and it is most often arranged on an edge of this table to be easily available an operator responsible for its implementation and generally posted in front of this table.
  • this machine is provided with a device specific monoblock 24 for receiving mail items intended for receive one after the other the mail items ejected by his exit slot.
  • a device specific monoblock 24 for receiving mail items intended for receive one after the other the mail items ejected by his exit slot.
  • An exemplary embodiment of such a reception device mail items specially adapted for a folding machine and Insertion is illustrated in Figures 3 and 4.
  • the receiving device in the form of a rectangular tank conventionally comprises a support plate 26 on which will come accumulate ejected mail items, a front wall 28 on which will come up against these mail items during their ejection, two walls side 30, 32 and a rear wall or bottom 34 intended to crop these items of mail once they fall on the support plate.
  • the support plate 26 has two notches 26A, 26B made of on either side of its longitudinal axis at its connection with the wall front 28 so that this front wall has a width less than that of the bottom wall 34, the two side walls each comprising at this notch and over their entire height, an opening 30A, 32A.
  • the side walls each have at level of this opening an outside corner 30C, 32C without sharp corners, and preferably rounded to avoid any risk of injury when entering mail items.
  • the rear wall 34 has attachment means 36 advantageously constituted by two clamps 38A, 38B intended to fit directly on the front feet 22A of the machine.
  • attachment means 36 advantageously constituted by two clamps 38A, 38B intended to fit directly on the front feet 22A of the machine.
  • the receiving device is advantageously produced by molding in one piece of plastic. It is therefore very easy to maintain.
  • the side walls and the front wall are preferably made in one transparent material.
  • the slight elasticity of the pliers allows easy removal of the device in case of machine maintenance by example.
  • the device being mounted in a position below the level ejection of the folding and insertion machine, it can if the feet 22 do not not have sufficient height as shown in Figure 1, be cantilevered relative to this machine and therefore be subjected to certain bending stresses. Also, the bottom wall 34 integrating the attachment means is advantageously reinforced by ribs or stiffeners 40 to improve its solidity.
