Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9718957A1] A device for unstacking and opening envelopes from a stack of envelopes with folded-down flaps, comprising two-way drive means (17, 19) for moving a removed envelope, and a fixed wedge-shaped deflector (31) arranged at an angle to the feed direction downstream from said drive means (17, 19). The removal cycle comprises, firstly, removing an envelope (5) and feeding it with the flap folded down at the front and on the side of the deflector (31) relative to the path, until the flap has been deflected and travelled beyond said deflector (31), secondly, moving the envelope (5) backwards so that the flap and the envelope position themselves over the deflector (31) as they move backwards, whereby the flap is folded out during the backward movement until it is coplanar with the body of the envelope (5), and thirdly, feeding the envelope (5) for the last time in the downstream direction of the device.
