A system and method for dynamic insertion of selected inserts into statements to be mailed in which post processing mail data, including selective insert parameters, are developed into a record for mail items and communicated directly to an integrated system controller, which then directs selective insertion of enclosures. The system comprises a mail item preparation apparatus interfaced with a data processor, an inserter apparatus, and an integrated system controller interfaced with the data processor and the inserter. The mail preparing apparatus generally includes a printer, and is mechanically interfaced with the inserter for transfer of mail items. The integrated system controller directs the inserter to selectively include inserts with the mail items according to insert parameter data received from the data processor.

For use with an envelope having a flap, a body, and a fold region connecting the flap to the body, a wetting and sealing apparatus for wetting the envelope flap with a liquid and sealing, after folding at the fold region, the wetted envelope flap to the envelope body. A computer directs the wetting and sealing operations. A continually primed spraying nozzle applies the liquid producing an active adhesive to the envelope flap and a pressure foot seals the wetted envelope flap to the envelope body.

Envelope wetting and sealing apparatus

For use with a mailing packet assembling apparatus that creates a mailing packet from items comprised of machine readable indicia encoded forms and machine readable indicia encoded envelopes that are transferred into the assembling apparatus, a verification system for determining that the correct items are transferred for assembly into the mailing packet. The system has a data base with information on the items within the mailing packet, thereby establishing which forms and envelopes are required in the assembled mailing packet, a plurality of dynamically controlled detectors for identifying the indicia on each form and on each envelope, and a computer for verifying that the data base information and the dynamically detected form and envelope indicia correctly correspond or do not correctly correspond to the desired mailing packet and, if correct, direct the mailing packet to be assembled.

A surface type fishing lure having a pair of nested, noise-producing spinners. The lure is a frame-like structure of stiff bendable wire formed into integral first and second arms. A fish hook is rigidly affixed to the rearward end of the first arm constituting an extension thereof. A head element is located at the juncture of the first arm and the hook. A hook-concealing skirt may be affixed to the head element. The forward end of the first arm terminates in a loop to which a fishing line can be secured. The loop, in turn, terminates in the second arm having first and second portions. The first portion of the second arm extends from the loop in a lateral direction with respect to the first arm. The first portion of the second arm terminates in the second portion extending generally in the same direction as the first arm. The above noted pair of spinners is rotatively mounted in nested condition on the second portion of the second arm. The spinners are similarly configured, each having a body portion and two blades. The blade configurations and their angular relationships to their respective body portions cause them to rotate in the same direction at different speeds, striking each other to produce a fish attracting sound.
