Abstract
Apparatus and methods for clearing a jam that occurs on a mailing machine sheet feeder are presented. An envelope stripper and moistener portion of the mailing machine can include a jam release mechanism that provides for a release handle to unlock an upper transport and swing the transport and related portions of the mailing machine into an upright position leaving a transport deck and blade exposed, and thereby facilitating the clearing of a jammed envelope or other mailing piece. The sheet feeding device can include a feeder portion, an upper transport portion and a transport deck. The jam clearing device can include an upper transport frame pivotally mounted to the sheet feeding device via an upper transport pivot shaft and a latching means for securing the upper transport frame in a home position.
