21 Automatic envelope opener US37351873 1973-06-25 US3828634A 1974-08-13 LUPERTI H
An automatic envelope opener is described wherein a housing having an envelope infeed platform and envelope outfeed platform enables envelopes to be automatically opened. The envelopes are retained on edge in a generally vertical orientation on the platforms and moved one at a time from the infeed platform along a travel path, where a cutter is located, to the outfeed platform for stacking. The envelopes have a small edge segment severed by a cutter horizontally operative in the travel path and are automatically stacked against a movable retainer at the outfeed platform with a stacker and a diverter wall placed in the travel path to deflect envelopes towards the retainer. An envelope jogger is mounted on the housing to urge envelope contents to one edge and enable envelope opening without damage to the contents.

29 Apparatus and method for opening and sorting envelopes US14583886 2014-12-29 US09527114B2 2016-12-27 David R Helmlinger; Robert DeWitt
An apparatus is provided for processing mail by severing an edge of each envelope in a stack of mail. The apparatus includes an input bin for receiving a stack of mail. A feeder feeds the bottom envelope from the input bin to a transport that conveys the envelope along an envelope path. A cutter positioned along the envelope path severs one edge of the envelopes. A detector detects a characteristic of the envelope and a sorter sorts the envelope in response to the detected characteristic.

33 Method and apparatus for processing envelopes containing documents to obtain images of the documents US12863711 2009-10-28 US08893456B2 2014-11-25 Michael Sullivan; Erick Grasmueck; David Helmlinger; Robert R DeWitt; George L Hayduchok
A method and apparatus for processing mail is provided. Mail is placed into an input been having a conveyor that conveys the mail towards a feeder. The feeder serially feeds the envelopes to a cutter that severs the top edge of the envelopes. A transport conveys the envelopes from the top cutter to an extractor. The extractor opens the edge-severed mail and presents the contents of the envelopes to an operator who manually extracts the contents. From the extractor, the operator manually feeds the extracted documents to a document input. From the document input, the documents are fed to a document transport that conveys the documents past an imaging module to obtain image data for the documents before sorting the documents to output bins.

39 Mail handling safety system US10047740 2001-11-09 US20030193272A1 2003-10-16 John I. Bryan
A mail handling safety system for allowing an individual to safely open mail and packages. The mail handling safety system includes a container having at least one side wall, an upper portion sealed upon the side wall and a lower opening within the container, a pair of apertures extending into the side wall sufficient in size to receive the arms of an individual, a pair of guides on opposing sides of the apertures, and a door member slidably positioned within the guides for selectively closing the apertures if a contaminated parcel is positioned within the container. The container is comprised of a transparent or semi-transparent material for allowing the user to view the interior of the container. The user places the parcels of mail upon an upper surface of a flat structure and then inserts their hands through the apertures. The user then opens the parcels of mail and if a parcel contains a suspected biological or chemical contaminant, the user then removes their arms and closes the door members about the apertures until the appropriate personnel may arrive to inspect the parcel.
40 Glove box contamination-proof mail handling US10271282 2002-10-15 US20030070404A1 2003-04-17 Gerry Calabrese
A glove box assembly is used for contamination-proof mail handling. Items of mail, after they are placed into the glove box cavity and the cavity is sealed, are opened and simultaneously examined for any suspiciously hazardous materials. Harmful exposure to chemicals and biological cultures can be substantially reduced if mail items, such as envelopes and small packages are opened in the mail handling cavity while it is hermetically sealed. The glove box assembly has a see-through lid which allows completely open inspection of all mail items as they are being opened. The cavity may be lighted and any type of mail processing device may be placed at ready inside the cavity.
