Abstract

In der Frankier- und/oder Adressiermaschine (1) ist unmittelbar nach dem Transportband (12) und in einem ausreichenden Abstand zum Tintendruckkopf (10) eine angetriebene Transportrolle (14) vorgesehen, über die das Postgut (A) geführt wird und deren Umfangsgeschwindigkeit größer eingestellt ist als die des Transportbandes (12). Der orthogonale Abstand (a) zwischen Transportrolle (14) und Tintendruckkopf (10) ist so groß gewählt, daß der Brieflauf während des Drucks nur durch das Transportband (12) bestimmt wird.In the franking and / or addressing machine (1) immediately after the conveyor belt (12) and in a sufficient Distance to the ink print head (10) a driven transport roller (14) provided, over which the mail item (A) is guided and their peripheral speed is set larger than that of the conveyor belt (12). The orthogonal distance (a) between the transport roller (14) and the ink print head (10) is chosen so large that the letter run during printing is determined only by the conveyor belt (12).

Auf diese Weise werden einerseits ein kontinuierlicher Briefdurchlauf bis zum Abschluß des Druckvorganges und andererseits ein beschleunigter Briefausstoß danach erreicht. Damit wird die Zeit bis zum Abkippen in den Ablagekasten (5) wesentlich verkürzt und ausreichend Zeit für die Einnahme der Ruhelage zur Verfügung gestellt.

Figure 00000001
In this way, on the one hand, a continuous letter run until the end of the printing process and, on the other hand, an accelerated letter output after that. This significantly shortens the time until it tilts into the storage box (5) and provides sufficient time for the rest position to be taken.
