Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for transferring mail, such as Letters and cards from a franking and / or addressing machine a downstream filing device in which the mail is stacked is filed.
  • a franking and / or addressing machine is known, see here DE 196 05 014 C1 and DE 196 05 015 C1, in which the letters on one Edge upright and resting on a backward inclined guide plate continuously transported continuously and by means of a rear the guide plate during the printing operation of the immobile ink print head be printed.
  • the letters are on a circulating Conveyor belt. The speed of transport of the letters and the print speed of the print head are coordinated.
  • DE 197 05 089 C1 also provides an arrangement for storing letters for the franking and / or addressing machine described above known in use in alignment with the guide plate is detachably connected to the charging machine, which is in a storage box flows.
  • the insert is on the right side wall of the franking machine docked.
  • the side wall is with for this purpose Provide keyholes in which the insert with appropriate protective cones is attached.
  • the storage box is with its left side wall guided between insert and side wall. In the back wall of the Storage box, a recess is provided, which is an easy separation of the storage box from use.
  • the stake points a gutter sloping in the direction of transport and one parallel to it Front edge resiliently swiveling rocker on in the direction of transport and protrudes orthogonally to the top.
  • the gutter connects to the sliding surface for the lower edge of the letter in the franking and / or addressing machine.
  • Both storage devices described above advantageously allow the processing of mixed mail due to the upward open design and the letter transport standing on the edge. But since the bottom of the storage box is usually at the same height how the bottom of the franking machine is arranged is the stack height limited accordingly. Add to that the transportation speed the letters are only as large as the writing speed of the ink print head. The available for the outgoing letter standing time to slide down the gutter and then into Tilting the storage box is relatively scarce, especially since the letter to Is slowed down. So it can happen that the following Letter meets the previous one before it lies flat. A possible consequence of this is congestion.
  • the purpose of the invention is to improve the functional properties.
  • the invention has for its object a device of the beginning to create the type mentioned with little effort, with one stack of letters for mixed mail is possible without complications.
  • Existing suitable storage devices should be as unchanged as possible to be kept.
  • the transport roller can be driven with the appropriate ratio via a belt by the same motor that drives the means of transport. Due to the frictional connection between the letter and the transport roller, overloading is impossible, the latter can run continuously, so that additional tax expenditure is eliminated.
  • Existing letter filing devices can be used.
  • a continuously rotating conveyor belt 12 is provided in a franking machine 1 for the transport of the letters A and a driven transport roller 14 is provided immediately after the conveyor belt 12 in the transport direction.
  • the letters A lie against a guide plate 11 during the passage through the franking machine 1 and are printed by means of an ink print head 10 which is immobile during printing.
  • the ink print head 10 has an orthogonal distance a from the transport roller 14, which distance is greater than the longest impression to be expected. This ensures that the peripheral speed of the conveyor belt 12, which is coordinated with the writing speed of the ink print head 10, is not influenced by the transport roller 14.
  • the peripheral speed of the transport roller 14 is set greater than that of the conveyor belt 12, whereby an acceleration of the emerging letter A is achieved.
  • the transport roller 14 is provided with a covering 141 which has a correspondingly high coefficient of friction.
  • a suitable polyurethane is preferably used as the material.
  • the sliding surface 121 for the lower edge of the letter in the franking machine 1 after the transport roller 14 is somewhat lower than the uppermost part of the transport roller 14 and is designed to be sloping. When crossing the transport roller 14, the letter A accordingly tilts onto the sliding surface 121, is accelerated to its end by the transport roller 14 and, when leaving the franking machine 1 - still standing on its edge - enters the sloping channel 411.
  • the channel 411 is molded into the front wall 41 of an angular insert 4, which is docked on the one hand to the franking machine 1 and on the other hand is connected to a storage box 5.
  • the side wall 52 lying at the rear in the transport direction is arranged orthogonally to the former and is designed as a resilient baffle.
  • 6 shows a constructive embodiment of the solution according to the invention according to FIG. 5 in conjunction with FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • a plexiglass disk 15 is arranged at a distance from the guide plate 11.
  • the bottom of the shaft for the letter guide thus provided is formed by the conveyor belt 12, the transport roller 14 and the sloping sliding surface 121.
  • the storage box 5 is guided adjustable in the angular insert 4.
  • the filing box 5 is pulled out in accordance with the largest letter format to be processed. Since the letters A are pre-oriented in terms of their position due to the rearwardly inclined guide plate 11, they tip backwards into the storage box 5 after impacting the right side wall 52 via the rear upper edge of the channel 411. The slope and shape of the sliding surface 121 and the initial region 4111 of the groove 411 are matched to one another.
  • a continuously rotating conveyor belt 12 is provided in a franking machine 1 for the transport of the letters A, and a driven transport roller 14 is provided directly after the conveyor belt 12 in the transport direction.
  • the letters A lie horizontally on the conveyor belt 12 during the passage through the franking machine 1 and are printed by means of an ink print head 10 arranged above it, which is immobile during printing operation.
  • the ink print head 10 has an orthogonal distance a from the transport roller 14, which distance is greater than the longest impression to be expected. This ensures that the peripheral speed of the conveyor belt 12, which is coordinated with the writing speed of the ink print head 10, is not influenced by the transport roller 14.
  • the peripheral speed of the transport roller 14 is also set greater here than that of the conveyor belt 12, whereby an acceleration of the emerging letter A is achieved.
  • the sliding surface for the letter A in the franking machine 1 after the transport roller 14 is slightly lower than the uppermost part of the transport roller 14 and is designed to be sloping. When crossing the transport roller 14, the letter A accordingly tilts onto the sliding surface, is accelerated to its end by the transport roller 14 and, when leaving the franking machine 1, arrives in the storage box 5.
  • the side wall 52 lying at the rear in the transport direction is arranged orthogonally to the former and designed as a resilient baffle.
  • the letter A slides with its front edge along the bottom 53 of the storage box 5 or on the previous letter A until it meets the side wall 52.
  • the rear edge of the letter A slides down the inclined left side wall 55 of the storage box 5, see also FIG. 8.
