| 153 | Data card and mailer data match/inserter system | US53608 | 1987-05-20 | US5012073A | 1991-04-30 | Donald W. Hewitt; David D. Seibel |
| An automated system for inserting data cards into preprinted and addressed mailing forms. A computer controls the automatic asynchronous operation of the overall system. Each mailing form bears the account number and mailing address of the intended card recipient, and a designation of the number of cards to be inserted. The cards are pre-embossed and encoded, and supplied in number and sequence corresponding to the requirements of the successoin of forms. The forms advance in succession from a fan-fold continuous strip supply through a read station and into an insert station. Cards are picked from the supply in individual succession and transported past a read station at which account number data is read from the card for comparison with the data of the form currently positioned in the insert station. The insert station includes a number of bins corresponding to the card insert positions on the form and is controlled to receive the proper number of correctly matched cards in the appropriate bins for the form. Should a no-match condition occur or if the corresponding number of proper cards is not satisfied, the card transport terminates to permit a visual operator check. Operator controls permit selectively rejecting cards and forms where matching requirements are not met and manual overrides for correction of same and for re-initiating automated operation. Forms with the proper inserted cards are automatically burst from the strip and proceed through a folder to an output transport for stacking in sequence into an output hopper. | ||||||

| 158 | Insertion machine with postage categorization | US832294 | 1986-02-24 | US4809187A | 1989-02-28 | Jerryl Adams |
| In an insertion machine a track 20 moves groups of items past feed stations 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40 and 42 during respective machine cycles. The feed stations selectively feed items onto the track 20 for inclusion with a group of items and eventual stuffing into an envelope to which postage need be allocated. One of the feed stations is a dual item station 32 from which items having a first weight and from which items having a second weight can be fed. A sensor 53 is provided proximate the dual item station 32 for determining the number of first weight items the number of second weight items fed from the dual item station 32. In order for data processing means 102 to calculate the amount of postage necessary, an operator uses a keyboard and display 110 to input predetermined per item weight values for items held at select stations. The data processing means 102 uses the predetermined values indicative of the per item weight of items held in the stations to obtain a calculated total weight for each group of items. | ||||||
| 159 | Method and apparatus for identifying, cutting and processing documents | US71508 | 1987-07-09 | US4785165A | 1988-11-15 | Robert R. Kruk |

Sheets including a plurality of preprinted documents are registered to straighten each sheet, read by a fiber optic scanner to identify each document for a microprocessor, cut into individual documents, collected as individual documents and held until needed as directed by the microprocessor and transferred from the collector to an inserting track for further processing including insertion into an envelope. | ||||||
| 160 | Collating station for inserting machine | US930216 | 1986-11-13 | US4753429A | 1988-06-28 | Robert Irvine; Harry E. Luperti |
| A collating station is disclosed for a machine intended to insert first and second documents into an envelope. Prior to the insertion operation, the first and second documents are advanced serially in a common plane. At a predetermined location, each first document is intercepted and lifted above the common plane and moved to a holding platform spaced above the common plane. The holding platform has a transverse terminal edge downstream from where the first document comes to rest. Thereupon, the first document resting on the holding platform and a following second document which continues to advance along the common plane as the first document travels toward the holding platform are advanced together in a parallel spaced relationship, toward a downstream station. As the documents are advanced, the first document drops off the terminal edge of the holding platform and onto the second document thereby completing the collating operation. Additionally, movement of the first document is positively controlled as it is guided to locations above the common plane, thereby assuring proper collation of the first and second documents. The desired sequence of events can be achieved by means of a variable computer control, or by a fixed timing sequence built into the machine, or by sensors and associated activating devices, or by a combination of these expedients. | ||||||
