Abstract: Automatic parcel sizing device (10) comprising: a trihedral parcel support (12) having three panels (12A, 12B, 12C) for receiving a parcel (18) to be sized, each panel of which being disposed orthogonal to the other two panels and defining a vertex (20) at an intersection point of said three panels, an optical sensor (14) for obtaining an image of the parcel, and a processor unit (16) in signal communication with said optical sensor for determining from said image of the parcel the respective dimensions of three parcel edges (18A, 18B, 18C) which have a common vertex (18D), wherein said vertex of the trihedral parcel support is disposed upside down such that, thanks to the gravity, the parcel is always correctly placed regarding the trihedral parcel support and said optical sensor is placed below and at a fixed distance from said vertex.

Abstract: This invention relates to an adapter device comprising a platform intended to receive a digital printer and capable of receiving a folder/inserter, and an adapter assembly cooperating with the platform to support the digital printer and to position it in space (in height, length and width) with respect to the folder/inserter, by causing the inlet of the folder/inserter to correspond to the or each outlet of the digital printer.

Abstract: An automatic document feeder for a folding and/or inserting machine has a document entry surmounted by at least two loading bins adapted to cooperate with the document entry in various modes of operation, individually or in combination, using a set of sensors and drive units and controlled by a programmed microprocessor of a control circuit via an input/output interface circuit in the feeder.
