Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

The present invention generally relates to a system for attaching a data card to a pre-addressed mailing form (in this specification, a form means a document formed according to a certain format). , and particularly relates to such a system in which the data read from the card and the form are compared with each other to ensure that the card is attached to the correct form. Such attachment is done automatically and in an improved manner that ensures accurate attachment while allowing the card to be easily removed from its form by the intended recipient. Prior art patents related to this invention are as follows.

Insertion machine system. 18. said means for receiving and removably supporting a card comprises a plurality of arms, at least a first and a second arm in opposing relationship to receive opposite edges of the card therebetween; wherein the arms each have a first end including an inwardly directed protrusion for retaining thereon a card received between the first and second arms; and further comprising a second support element, the second ends of the first and second arms being coupled to the first and second support elements, respectively, for supporting the arms; and wherein the drive means drives the first and second support elements to move the arm and retract the protrusion to release the card held thereon. insertion machine system. 19 said first and second support elements include elongate elements provided for rotation at opposite ends thereof, and said at least first and second arms are at said second ends intermediate said ends thereof; each one of said first and second support elements located in and extending radially therefrom, and said drive means for rotating said elongate support element thereby causing said arm to move inwardly and closely together. rotated into opposing relationship to receive and removably hold a card on an inward projection of said arm, and said drive means rotates said support element in an opposite direction to 19. The inserter system of claim 18, wherein the arms are rotated to an outwardly displaced relationship thereby releasing the card held by the protrusion of the arms. 20. Said means of said inserter mechanism for supporting a card in its central portion includes a plane of the card received in said inserter mechanism generally centrally of the card and across the greater longitudinal extent of the card. a finger element extending parallel to the central support means, and the drive means for displacing the central support means supporting the central portion of the card during deflection of the card by the deflection means. selectively maintaining the support finger in its first position so as to extend beneath the card and moving the support finger to a position closely adjacent to the side of the form to which the card is to be attached; 19. An inserter system as claimed in claim 18, comprising means by which the card can be deflected to its original planar configuration. 21 said form positioning means is operable to retract a form from said inserter mechanism in a first direction transverse to said greater longitudinal extent of said card, said form locating means being operable to retract a form from said inserter mechanism in a first direction transverse to said greater longitudinal extent of said card; thereby defining a leading edge and a trailing edge of said card during said retraction, and said central support finger extending from said longitudinal trailing edge of said card so defined under said card. 21. The inserter system of claim 20, wherein the central support finger is extended so that a form and attached card can be retracted when the central support finger is positioned closely adjacent the form. 22. said means for engaging said card adjacent said first and second diagonally opposite corners comprising: first and second elongated deflection elements; support means for supporting said first and second elongated deflection elements so as to extend in a direction generally perpendicular to the plane of the card supported and displaced from the plane of said card in position; Means drive the support means for the elongate deflection element to displace it from the first position of the card surface when the card is supported by the central support finger. moving the card corner to a second position that engages and deflects the corresponding diagonally opposite corner, thereby protruding the card corner through the corresponding opening of the card mounting location of the mailing form; and the driving means is adapted to move the arm from the support of the central portion of the card closely to the form in its first position after driving the arm into the outwardly displaced position to release the card from the protrusion. driving the elongated deflection element to engage and deflect the corners of the card before moving the central support finger to a position adjacent to the second card deflection position; said elongate deflection element of said credit card being deflected slightly out of the plane of said credit card when said credit card is deflected to its original planar configuration when said central support finger is moved to said second position closely adjacent said form. 22. The inserter system of claim 21, wherein the inserter system is displaced by:
