Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for enveloping printed sheets. The present invention relates to a method according to the preamble to Claim 1, to an apparatus according to the preamble of
Claim 6, and to a printer according to Claim 9. The method and apparatus are particularly well suited to use in or with a standard printer, having multiple standard trays carrying standard paper of different formats. - Xerox Disclosure Journal Vol. 14, No. 6, November/December 1989, 315 in an article entitled Toner Gluing, describes the use of toner to glue together two paper surfaces. This makes possible the creation of an envelope from two sheets of paper, one provided with a border of toner, whereafter pressure and heat are applied to create the seal.
- Such a solution sealing multiple sheets to each other by heating and/or pressing together toner borders on the sheets is shown in WHO
96/09935 -
EP 0 514 699 A1 describes a system where a toner border is applied to a paper sheet, is heated and then folded and then forced through heated rollers, thereby providing a sealed document. - Such previously known solutions do not provided for the automatic printing of both the envelope and sheets to be enclosed in the envelope. The previously known solutions do not achieve this in a standard laser-jet printer, nor do they provide automatic assurance that the correct contents are enclosed in the envelope. Previously know solutions have required several lines, separate envelope blank feeders and coding means to make sure that the correct contents are enclosed in the correct envelope. These and other shortcomings of the previously known solutions are remedied with a method and an apparatus of the type described by way of introduction which have the characterizing features of the main claims. The present invention provides a very cost effective solution which utilizes an existing standard printer with standard grade paper of standard sizes.
- The present invention will be described in the following with reference to the drawings of which,
-
Fig. 1 shows schematically how the present invention could be realized in one embodiment using standard paper sizes printed. A paper sheet 1 of size A3+ in this specific example is printed in a standard laser printer with atoner border 4 on the side facing the viewer. Atext 6 is also printed on the same side. The reverse side of the A3+ sheet can be provided with an address for example, as indicated by the address "SENATUM POPULUMQUE ROMANUM" 2 visible in reverse. It is of course possible to print any texts available with a standard duplex printer. Thenumeral 5 indicates printed standard A4 sheets of any reasonable number which are to be enclosed in the envelope created from the A3+ sheet 1 in this example, by folding along thecrease 3, whereupon the toner border will adhere to itself and seal the envelope, as will be described below. - One particularly advantageous embodiment of the method and apparatus of the present invention is illustrated schematically in
Fig. 2 , which shows a standard duplex laser printer 7, which in many cases today is a copier and a scanner as well. The printer 7 is provided in this case with a number oftrays tray 11 may contain standard A3+ paper (329 x 483 mm) andtray 10 may contain standard A4 paper (210 x 297 mm). In the process according to the invention an A3+ sheet is duplex printed on one side with an address, return address and/or other desired text and the other side is printed with a toner border frame 4 (seeFig. 1 ) as well as any desired text, for example the salutation "Ave, Amici et Senatori" 6 inFig. 1 . Any large A3+ sheet is automatically guided after printing and is fed out downwards in the figure (arrow 13) torollers crease line 3 and feed it upwards to a collecting station, The filler, i.e. and desired printedA4 sheets 5 are then printed one by one on both sides (Here with the bread text "Gallia est omnis divisa ....") sand are fed individually (arrow 12) and stacked at the collecting station above theroller 14 in the figure here. When all the desired A4 sheets have been printed and collected, the stack is fed into the crease of the waiting A3+ sheet and the complete packet is fed (arrow 17) through between therollers envelope 1b withcontents 5b can be seen to the right inFig. 2 . The rollers may be heated to increase the sealing effect but this is not at all necessary for the invention. - One important advantage of the method and apparatus of the present invention is that, since a single standard duplex printer is used to produce both the printed
envelope 1b and the printedsheet contents 5b, this makes it possible to guarantee that the correct contents are inserted into the correct envelope. Previously known enveloping methods and apparatuses have had to rely on numbered envelopes and contents to make sure that the correct contents have been inserted into the proper envelope, thus adding extra steps to the process and still not eliminating the risk of mismatched contents. - With the present method it is possible to produce finished printed enveloped packets at a very rapid rate, with assured correct contents, with a standard laser printer, since both the envelope with printed text, address etc, as well as toner adhesive edges, and the printed content sheets are produced by single standard printer in a single sequence. First the A3+ sheet is printed with the
address 2 on one side and thetoner edges 4 and possibly a printedtext 6 on the other, and it is advanced to the creasing and pausing station by therolls A4 content sheets 5 are printed and collected. When the content sheets are completely printed and collected, thestack 5 is advanced toward thecrease 3 in the waiting printed A3+ sheet and the entire folded packet is pressed forward through therollers toner edges 4 to each other. The laser printer signal for starting the printing of the next A3+ envelope sheet is simultaneous with the signal to advance the stack of printedA4 content sheets 5 towards its waiting creased A3+ sheet. There is thus a completely continuous printing process at the maximum rate for the printer. - It should be emphasized that this is merely one method, apparatus and printer for realizing the present invention. Other dimensions and grades of non-standard paper can also be used according to the invention with advantage. It is also envisioned that the enveloping method can easily be combined with a perforation step to facilitate opening the delivered missive. The apparatus can easily be incorporated and built into a printer at its output.
