Abstract: A sealing device is provided for sealing facsimile receiving paper produced by a facsimile receiver device. The sealing device includes apparatus for taking in the facsimile receiving paper which is discharged from the facsimile receiving device, and a first folding arrangement for folding the paper in half. A second folding arrangement is provided for simultaneously folding the once-folded paper together with a sheet of envelope paper in a laminate arrangement. A sealing apparatus is provided to seal the envelope paper so as to enclose the facsimile receiving paper.

Abstract: Apparatus for manufacturing sealed postal mails or other sealed envelope assemblies using a discrete envelope blanks split from an envelope-forming continuous sheet, an intermediate element split from an intermediate element-forming continuous sheet and additional inserting elements, both having sizes adapted to be enclosed within the envelope blank. The apparatus includes a reader for reading an encoded data preliminarily printed on the intermediate elements that produces an output signal corresponding to the number of insert sheet elements to be enclosed together with the intermediate elements. A grouping station is provided for stacking the insert sheets successively supplied to be enclosed together with the intermediate elements. The grouping station is activated in response to the output signal from the reader. A feeder is provided for feeding a selective collection of inserting elements and intermediate elements from the grouping station to an envelope folding.

Abstract: Apparatus for forming an assembly of sealed envelopes used as a postal mailer includes a main envelope processing unit for producing envelopes from the envelope-forming continuous sheet, and an intermediate element supply unit exchangably connected with the main envelope processing unit to supply the intermediate element to the main envelope processing unit.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for forming a continuous assembly of sealed envelopes having upper and lower sections and comprising at least one insert of the type used as a postal mailer or the like.
