Definitions

  • the invention relates to an envelope-filling machine with an envelope-filling table according to the preamble of Claim 1.
  • a guide contact lever is fastened on the common pivoting spindle of the push-in fingers, said guide contact lever bearing a guide contact roller at its outer end.
  • the contact roller follows a guide, in contact therewith, such that, in the operating stroke of the push-in-finger carrier, the push-in fingers slide over the surface of the envelope-filling table under spring prestressing and the push-in-finger ends position themselves against the trailing edges of enclosures or sets of enclosures which are to be pushed in, whereas, in the return stroke of the push-in-finger carrier, the push-in fingers are raised off from the envelope-filling table and are thus guided over the next-following enclosure or the next-following set of enclosures at a vertical distance therefrom.
  • the invention is intended to achieve the object of designing an envelope-filling machine of the general type described in the introduction such that the design of the push-in arrangement can be simplified and high operating speeds are made possible.
  • the common centre of gravity of the push-in fingers, which are coupled to one another in a fixed manner, and of the additional-mass element or of the associated additional-mass elements is preferably positioned on the pivoting spindle or at least in the vicinity of the pivoting spindle.
  • Figure 3 shows an embodiment of an envelope-filling machine with a push-in arrangement in the case of which push-in fingers 6, which are mounted on the push-in-finger carrier 4 such that they can be pivoted via the pivoting spindle 5, are each formed integrally with an associated additional-mass element 16a.
  • the common centre of gravity of each push-in finger 6 and the associated additional-mass element 16a is located approximately on the geometrical axis of the pivoting spindle 5.
  • the envelope-filling machine proposed here is designed such that the direction in which the enclosures or sets of enclosures are fed onto the envelope-filling table 8 is oriented perpendicularly to the push-in direction.
  • the feeding operation it is necessary for the feeding operation to be carried out, for example, when the push-in fingers 6 are nearing the end of the push-in operating cycle and the bottom ends of the push-in fingers have thus freed the feeding path for the next-following enclosure or the next-following set of enclosures on the envelope-filling table 8.
