US Classification:

1564424, 1564415, 1564422, 118209, 118256, 118264

Abstract:

A moistening device that significantly reduces any loss of contact between the applicator and envelope flap regardless of the thickness of the mail piece or size of the flap, thereby ensuring sufficient wetting of the glue line on the envelope flap with moistening fluid, is provided. A deflection device is added to a portion of the support to which the applicator is secured. The deflection device is located and sized to exert a force on the applicator, causing the applicator to form into a shape that more closely matches the shape of an envelope flap being processed, while also allowing the applicator to flex slightly in multiple directions. This results in little to no loss of contact between the applicator and glue line on the envelope flap, thereby allowing sufficient moistening fluid to be transferred from the applicator to the glue line.

Assignee:

Pitney Bowes Inc. - Stamford CT

International Classification:

B65H 2942

US Classification:

271179

Abstract:

The apparatus of this invention is a buffering device for the transport of documents that comprises four variable pitch screws that have a tapered outside diameter and a tapered root diameter at the input portion of the screw. A upstream screw and a downstream screw are on the left hand side of the buffering device and a upstream screw and a downstream screw are on the right hand side of the buffering device. The upstream screw has its largest outside diameter on the top of the screw and its smallest outside diameter on the bottom of the screw. The downstream screw has its largest outside diameter on the bottom of the screw and its smallest outside diameter on the top of the screw. The screws on the left hand side of the buffering device have a left handed screw thread and the screws on the right side of the buffering device have a right handed screw thread, or visa versa.

Assignee:

Pitney Bowes Inc. - Stamford CT

International Classification:

B05C 100

US Classification:

118253

Abstract:

This invention is directed to an envelope flap moistener that comprises a frame for supporting the moistener and an elongate substantially rectangular-shaped base removably connected to the frame. The base has a fluid outlet aperture and a plurality of pockets located at spaced intervals longitudinally across the base. The moistener has a plurality of brushes capable of upwardly transferring fluid by capillary action. The plurality of brushes include means for slidably engaging the plurality of brushes within the plurality of pockets located in the base. A cover is mounted onto the base. The cover has a fluid inlet aperture and a plurality of openings for exposing the plurality of brushes.

Appl. No.:

8/887852

Inventors:

Jason P. Paradis - West Haven CT
Francesco Porco - Fairfield CT
Michael S. Doery - Monroe CT

Assignee:

Pitney Bowes Inc. - Stamford CT

International Classification:

B65B 4326

US Classification:

533817

Abstract:

This device reduces the size of the gap between the apex of the flap opener blade and the drive roller. The above increases the probability that the flap of the envelope would be opened. The foregoing was accomplished by removing segments of the apex of the flap opener blade to allow clearance for the envelope and/or drive roller. Thus, the nominal position of the apex of the flap opener blade was moved closer to the drive roller which reduced the gap between the apex of the flap opener blade and drive roller. Consequently, the chance that the envelope flap would be closed was reduced.

International Classification:

F16B 37/04

Abstract:

Disclosed are fastening systems for coupling a first component to stud, shaft, or the like via a sleeve assembly. The fastening system comprising an upper sleeve component, a lower sleeve component, and a nut. The upper sleeve component defines an upper sleeve opening, while the lower sleeve component defines a lower sleeve opening. The lower sleeve component comprises one or more flexible tabs configured to engage the upper sleeve component via the component opening. The nut is configured to pass through a sleeve opening to engage the stud. The sleeve opening is defined by the upper sleeve opening and the lower sleeve opening.
