Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of folding and automatic insertion of sheet documents in envelopes.
  • the invention relates more particularly to an inserting folding machine comprising a tray intended to receive documents to be folded and a folding mechanism fed with documents to be folded by the tray and having at least one folding stop whose position is adjustable under the control of 'a processor.
  • Such a machine is known from document FR-9111992.
  • This machine actually comprises two feed trays, one for receiving the documents to be folded, the other for receiving the envelopes. It also includes two folding pockets each provided with a movable folding stop and whose position is adjustable under the control of the processor.
  • a and B correspond to two dimensions for folding a document in two folds.
  • the data representative of the folding dimensions A and B are entered by the keyboard by the user of the machine.
  • An inexperienced user is not always able to enter the right data for a document the first time. Generally, it proceeds by trial and error by carrying out several tests until a satisfactory folding and insertion in an envelope is obtained.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a device to help the user adjust, in an inserting folding machine, the folding dimensions of a document to be folded, avoiding him to proceed by trial and error.
  • a pointing member capable of traversing the entire height of a document to be folded present in the tray and of providing a signal indicative of the distance of its displacement along the height of this document.
  • the processor is also connected to this pointing device to calculate data representative of the folding dimensions of this document from the signal provided by the pointing device in order to automatically adjust the position of the stop.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows the elements of the insert folding machine according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 shows a document with two folds to be inserted in an envelope.
  • Figure 3 schematically shows a detail of the pointing device according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 the inserter folding machine according to the invention is shown in a very simplified manner. It includes a tray 1 intended to receive documents to be folded and automatically feeding documents D, a folding mechanism 2, by an entry placed under the tray 1.
  • the folding mechanism 2 comprises various rolls 3,4,5,6 which cause a document to be folded in folding pockets, here two pockets 7 and 8. Each pocket is provided with a folding stop 9 and 10 movable in translation inside the pocket.
  • the stops are moved in the pockets under the action of movement transmitting members 11 and 12 represented here by endless belts driven by motors. Each stop is moved to occupy a position corresponding to a folding dimension of the document D to be folded.
  • rollers introduce each document D to be folded first in the pocket 7 where a fold is made along the dimension A shown in Figure 2. Then the rollers introduce this folded document in the pocket 8 where a second fold is made according to dimension B shown in FIG. 2.
  • a pointing member which makes it possible to easily and automatically adjust the position of the folding stops as a function of the type of document to be folded and of the envelope in which it is to be inserted.
  • This pointing member comprises a bar 14 which extends along the width of the tray 1 (therefore along the width of the document D in the tray 1).
  • This bar is mounted movable in translation along the height of the tank 1 to slide along the entire height L of the document D. For example, this bar slides in two slides provided on the lateral sides of the tank 1.
  • It also comprises a cable 15 which is connected at one end to the bar 14 and at its other end to a drum 16 around which it is wound.
  • a spiral spring mounted on the axis of rotation of the drum 16 forces the latter to wind the cable 15 to automatically bring the bar down to the bottom of the tray where it retracts.
  • the bar 14 is used to designate the position of the address block Ad on the document D from the bottom of the tray (that is to say from the bottom of the document D) to the top of the tray until it is placed just in below the address block Ad on document D, and the distance X3 of its movement is recovered by a sensor 18 sensitive to the rotation movement of the drum 16.
  • This sensor can for example be an incremental optical encoder which is able to supply the microprocessor 13 a signal indicative of this distance X3.
  • the processor 13 is arranged to calculate the data representative of the folding dimensions A and B from the distance X3 recovered from the sensor 18 and from the dimension L corresponding to the height of the document D, from the dimension H corresponding to the height of the envelope E into which the folded document D is to be inserted and of the dimension X2 corresponding to the distance between the bottom of the envelope E and the bottom of the window Fe of the envelope.
  • the dimensions H and X2 are shown in Figure 2. They are previously entered into the processor 13 by the user of the machine, via a keyboard for example or a similar pointing system. With regard to dimension H, this can also be entered by keyboard or retrieved via a sensor detecting the passage of the front edge and the rear edge of document D and on the basis of the speed of movement of the document. document D. It can still be entered using a similar position pointer.
  • the processor commands the display of an appropriate assistance message for the attention of the user.
  • the bar 14 is provided with a pressure sensor 19 visible in FIG. 3 which is connected to the processor 13 by means of an electrical connection 15 in the form of a ribbon instead of a simple cable.
  • the pressure sensor does not detect any pressure against the document.
  • the bar is positioned just below the address block Ad, the user presses the bar against the document and the pressure sensor delivers the signal which is detected by the processor.
  • it is easy to program the processor 13 so that it takes into account the signal supplied by the sensor 18 only when the pressure probe is pressed.
  • the strip 14 carries a light-emitting diode 20 which is supplied with electric current via the electrical connection 15.
  • the lighting of the diode serves to inform the user of the machine that it is placed in a mode assistance in adjusting the position of the folding stops.
  • the processor is programmed to command the lighting of the diode 20 following the entry of a command by menu or by pressing a specific key linked to the processor such as the key 21. Then, the user of the machine moves the bar 14 along the height of the document to be folded as indicated above to recover the dimension X3. Following this, the processor calculates the folding dimensions A and B to automatically adjust the position of the stops 9 and 10.
