Abstract (en)

A device (10) for folding at least one sheet of paper (12) such that the sheet of paper (12) is ready for insertion into an envelope, which device (10) comprises first, second and third sections (14, 16, 18) which are hinged together by first and second hinges (20, 22) and which are made of sheet material which is sufficiently rigid to enable the sheet of paper (12) to be folded, the device (10) being such that in use it is operated by folding the first section (14) on top of the second section (16) with the sheet of paper (12) having one free edge (24) abuting the first hinge (20) between the first and the second sections (14, 16), and then the third section (18) is folded on top of the first section (14) to give the sheet of paper (12) a first fold (26), and the device (10) being such that the hinges (20, 22) are constructed not to interfere with the folding of the sheet of paper (12) into well defined creases. <IMAGE>
