Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0504114A1] From a pile (1), the flap (2) of the bottom-most envelope (3) is opened by a rotating opening claw (5, 6, 7). As soon as the flap is open wide enough, it is picked up by two rotating transport segments (8, 9) and pressed against two transport rollers (10, 11). The opening claws (5, 6, 7) and the transport segments (8, 9) are arranged on the same shaft (4), but are mounted and driven independently of one another. The opening claws are only triggered by a coupling (12) when a package is to be made. The transport segments (8, 9) and the transport rollers (10, 11) run continuously. Two pairs of transport rollers (17, 18, 19, 20) convey the envelope (3) towards a packaging bag (13). As soon as the flap (2) of the envelope (3) is below a holding-down roller (21), the latter begins to drop. At the same time, the packaging bag (13) begins to pivot towards the envelope. While the envelope (3) is being drawn over the packaging bag (13), the prepared envelope contents (38) are conveyed from the opposite side into the packaging bag (13) by transport fingers (34). Transport fingers (34) push the envelope (3) with its contents (38) from the packaging bag between transport belts (43, 44) and out of the envelope-filling module. <IMAGE>
