Definitions

  • the invention relates to a moistening device for letter flaps according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the rubberized flap of the letter is guided over a moistening device, which processes the rubberized surface of the flap by moistening or softening the glue. Subsequent pressing of the flap closes the letter.
  • a moistening strip leading from a liquid container is used for moistening, over which the letter flap is guided (DE-PS 15 11 420) or a brush is wetted by suitable aids (US-A-2944511, DE-AS 15 61 881, DE-PS 33 37 488).
  • brushes the brush hair generally rests on pillows, sponges or rollers soaked in liquid, which absorb the liquid and deliver it to the brush hair between two passing letters. The moisture from the brush hair reaches the rubber lining of the letter flap.
  • the invention had for its object to provide a moistening device for letter flaps for applying the moisture by means of brushes, which constantly ensures a sufficient liquid supply on the brush even at high throughput speeds.
  • the moistening device consists of a liquid container (1) which holds the liquid (2) and a sponge (4) lying on a support (3).
  • the use of a support (3) ensures the presence of an unabsorbed liquid supply.
  • the sponge (4) is fixed in its position by means of a holder (5).
  • a brush holder (6) is spring-mounted, which carries the brush (7) and a suction strip (8) extending over the length of the brush (7).
  • the hair of the brush (7) lies on the sponge (4) and absorbs liquid from it as long as there is no letter flap between the brush (7) and holder (5) for moistening.
  • the angled end (9) of the suction strip (8) lies constantly in the liquid (2).
  • the amount of liquid on the brush (7) may be too large.
  • a suction strip (8) is used, the end of which is not immersed in the liquid.
  • the suction strip (8) serves as a liquid reservoir.
  • the liquid itself is absorbed directly by the sponge (4) through the brush hairs, part of which is given off to the suction strip (8).
  • Porous material is used as the material for the sponge (4) and the suction strip (8), for example felts, nonwovens or large-pore foams. Different materials can be used for the sponge (4) and the suction strip (8) depending on the application for the fast or slower run.
