Abstract
A diskette sleever device having a hopper for supporting a stack of empty sleeves, and a feed mechanism for receiving unsleeved diskettes, wherein the topmost empty sleeve is held in a predetermined position along the diskette transport path, and a pair of oscillatory fingers are engageable into the empty sleeve to open it, and a blower assembly is positioned adjacent the upper side of the sleeve to develop a negative pressure to create a suction force to retain the upper side of the sleeve in an open position while the transport mechanism inserts the diskette into the open sleeve.
