Definitions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 a toner border 4 on the side facing the viewer.
  • a text 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.
  • the numeral 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 the crease 3, whereupon the toner border will adhere to itself and seal the envelope, as will be described below.
  • Fig. 2 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 of trays 8, 9, 10 and 1 1 for different sheets of standard paper, in this case, for example, tray 1 1 may contain standard A3+ paper (329 x 483 mm) and tray 10 may contain standard A4 paper (210 x 297 mm).
  • tray 1 1 may contain standard A3+ paper (329 x 483 mm)
  • tray 10 may contain standard A4 paper (210 x 297 mm).
  • 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 (see Fig.
  • Any large A3+ sheet is automatically guided after printing and is fed out downwards in the figure (arrow 13) to rollers 14 and 16, which crease it at crease line 3 and feed it upwards to a collecting station.
  • the filler, i.e. and desired printed A4 sheets 5 are then printed one by one on both sides (Here with the bread text "Gallia est omnis divisa .") and are fed individually (arrow 12) and stacked at the collecting station above the roller 14 in the figure here.
  • the stack is fed into the crease of the waiting A3+ sheet and the complete packet is fed (arrow 17) through between the rollers 15 and 16, which will press the toner border sections against each other thereby sealing the entire envelope with the printed A4 sheets inside.
  • the sealed envelope 1 b with contents 5b can be seen to the right in Fig. 2.
  • the rollers may be heated to increase the sealing effect but this is not at all necessary for the invention.
  • Fig. 1 the text is part of the drawing and the meaning and content of the words in the text is not relevant per se for the present invention. Therefore, the text on Fig. 1 is an example that something may be written on the paper and sheets.
  • 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 1 b and the printed sheet 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.
  • 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 the toner edges 4 and possibly a printed text 6 on the other, and it is advanced to the creasing and pausing station by the rolls 14 and 16, while the A4 content sheets 5 are printed and collected.
  • the stack 5 is advanced toward the crease 3 in the waiting printed A3+ sheet and the entire folded packet is pressed forward through the rollers 16 and 17 sealing the 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 printed A4 content sheets 5 towards its waiting creased A3+ sheet. There is thus a completely continuous printing process at the maximum rate for the printer.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un appoint à une imprimante recto verso standard à plateaux multiples (7) qui transporte, depuis l'imprimante jusqu'à un poste de maintien et de pliage (14, 15, 16), une feuille de format standard d'enveloppe (1), (par exemple, A3+) imprimée avec au moins un bâti de toner d'un dispositif de scellement (4) sur la face intérieure et une adresse sur la face extérieure. Des feuilles de contenu (5) (par exemple, A4) sont ensuite imprimées et empilées au niveau d'un poste de collecte et la pile complète (5b) est ensuite pliée dans la feuille d'enveloppe (1) au fur et à mesure que des rouleaux (15, 16) effectuent le pressage et le scellement des bords de toner assemblés, permettant la distribution d'un paquet d'enveloppes finies adressées (1b) en une seule chaîne depuis l'imprimante standard utilisant de dimensions standard de papier dans des chargeurs standard. L'invention concerne l'unité d'appoint, l'imprimante avec l'appoint et le procédé de mise sous pli.
