Patent ID: 7591454

Claim:
A materials handling system, comprising: a common transport path; a feeder station having a first feed mechanism for feeding an enclosure envelope to the common transport path and at least one second feed mechanism for feeding material to common transport path, the material for insertion into the enclosure envelope; an insertion subsystem for inserting said material from said at least one second feed mechanism into said enclosure envelope; a folder subsystem for folding said material from said at least one second feed mechanism; a first transport path connected to said common transport path and to said insertion subsystem for transporting said material from said common transport path to said insertion subsystem for insertion into said the enclosure envelope; a second transport path connected to said common transport path, said folder subsystem and said insertion subsystem, said second transport path for transporting said material from said common transport path to said folding subsystem for folding and transporting folded material to said insertion subsystem for insertion into said the enclosure envelope; and a third transport connected to said common transport path and to said insertion subsystem, said third transport path for transporting said envelope from said common transport path to said insertion subsystem.
