Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2805489A1] Device comprises driving rollers (21, 22) for advancing an envelope (12) with open flap (14) to a closing station, retractable pressing member (2, 3), second rollers (26, 27) and control means. The pressing member is brought into the path of the envelope and pushes the flap. Second rollers are reversed to turn the envelope over with flap toward the pressing member. The latter is then activated to moisten and stick the flap, the forward movement of the second rollers is resumed and the envelope moved on. The pressing member can then be retracted again.
