Abstract:
A device for printing flat packages fed individually to a printing unit of a franking machine, pass the printing unit on one side and are guided on a side edge in the conveying direction, including a conveying apparatus which grips the packages at a front end and, by a guide plate forms a conveying plane of a conveying gap with an opposite conveying unit of the conveying apparatus. In the conveying direction, the conveying unit has two endless drawing devices next to each other which circulate a common axle on deflecting rollers, and the upper run of which, and the lower run of which are guided on running rollers mounted freely rotatably in pairs so as to lie opposite one another at pivotable ends of double lever arms assigned to the upper and the lower run, and supported on the inner side of the runs by spring force.

Claim (Index 1):
A device for printing flat packages fed individually to a printing unit of a franking machine, pass the printing unit on at least one side in a manner which is driven in a frictionally locking manner, and are guided on a side edge in a conveying direction, comprising: a conveying apparatus that grips the packages at a front end in the conveying direction, the conveying apparatus including a conveying unit; a guide plate arranged on an underside of the printing unit so as to form a conveying plane of a conveying gap/channel with the conveying unit of the conveying apparatus, wherein, as viewed in the conveying direction of the packages, the conveying unit has at least two endless drawing means next to and spaced from each other, each of the two endless drawing means circulates a common axle on deflecting rollers, an upper run of the drawing means, which faces the guide plate, and a lower run of the drawing means are guided on running rollers mounted freely rotatably in pairs so as to lie opposite one another at pivotable ends of one of a plurality of double levers of the conveying unit, which pivotable ends are assigned to the upper run and the lower run, respectively, of the drawing means and are formed by angled-away lever arms of the double levers, the pivotable ends being supported on an inner side of the runs by spring force that acts on the double levers.
