Abstract
This invention relates to a document collating and envelope stuffing apparatus having a continuous conveying mechanism that collects and collates documents from feeding stations and conveys the collated documents to an envelope stuffing station in a continuous manner. The feeding stations have platforms associated therewith where the documents are deposited so as to be picked up by the conveying mechanism and subsequently stuffed into envelopes. Downstream from the stuffing station is another conveying mechanism that conveys the stuffed envelopes to sealing and postage metering devices.
