Title: Improvements in and relating to Machines for Damping and Closing Envelopes.
Inventor: MICHEL ISAC
Filed: 1908-12-30
Granted: 1909-12-02
Abstract: 28,385. Michel, I. Dec. 30. Damping envelopes; envelopes, closing, Relates to a machine for damping and closing envelopes, in which the envelope flap is turned over and pressed by a plate operated by a lever. The damping-device o has a piece of felt shaped to correspond to the gummed edge of the envelope flap, and a valve r, Fig. 6, which is automatically operated at intervals to admit air into the damper. Figs. 1, 2, and 3 are sectional elevations of the apparatus in parallel planes, and Fig. 4 is a plan with a part removed. The various levers &c. are operated by cams on shafts 3 4 connected by a driving-chain, and the shaft 4 is operated by turning a crankj. When an envelope is placed on the plate b<1> and the crank j is turned into position I, Fig. 1, the cam 6 operates a lever 8 and a belt 11, and so rotates an arm 20 on its spring pivot-pin 13. The arm 20 turns the envelope flap over on to a plate e, Fig. 4, which slides in guides in the top of the machine. The damper o is supported by a bell-crank lever i, i<1> pivoted beneath the plate e and pivotally attached to a lever i<2> held against a cam 9 by a spring 2. When the crank j is turned into position II, Fig. 2, the cam 9 and levers i, i<1>,< >i<2> lower the damper on to the envelope flap, When the crank is turned further, the cam 9 and the levers move the damper o and the plate e to the left (position III). When the crank reaches position IV, Fig. 3, an arm g, operated by means of a cam 10, a lever w<2>, and a belt w<1>, turns a plate over, and presses the envelope flap on the envelope. When this happens, a roll 16 is drawn by a spring into an indentation in a cam 12, and a plate b<1> carrying a wire frame 27 is thus tilted and the closed envelope discharged. As the crank j reaches its original position, the parts 20, z, b<1> and e return to their original positions ready to deal with another envelope. Fig. 6 shows means for automatically operating the air valve r, which is normally closed by a spring 17. A lever 19, pivoted upon the damper, has one end resting on the valve r, and the other end is forked. When the damper is lowered, the forked end passes over a wheel 22, which is supported on the plate e and can turn only in one direction. When the plate e is moved to the left, the wheel 22 is partly rotated by a spring pawl 24, and a pin 29 on the wheel engages the forked lever 19 and opens the valve r momentarily, allowing water to soak into the damping-pad.
