The invention relates to a method of inserting items of mail (22) into envelopes (24), the method including an insertion cycle comprising the steps of: circulating, in succession, a series of insertion stations (12) past at least one envelope feeder (16), past at least one mail feeder (18) and past a delivery point (20); feeding an item of mail (22) and an associated envelope (24) on to each station (12) as the station (12) passes the respective feeders (16,18); inserting each item of mail (22) into the associated envelope (24) while the associated station(12) moves towards the delivery point (20); and delivering each envelope (24) with its inserted item of mail (22)from the associated station (12) to the delivery point (20). Each station (12) is then recirculated past the feeders (16,18) and past the delivery point (20), to repeat the cycle. The invention extends to an apparatus (10) for performing this method.

L'invention concerne un procédé d'insertion d'articles de courrier (22) dans des enveloppes (24) pourvu d'un cycle d'insertion comprenant des étapes. Ces étapes consistent à faire circuler l'une après l'autre une série de stations d'insertion (12) le long d'au moins un dispositif d'acheminement d'enveloppes (16), d'au moins un dispositif d'acheminement de courrier (18) et d'un point de distribution (200), à acheminer un article de courrier (22) et une enveloppe associée (24) au niveau de chaque station (12), à mesure que la station (12) passe le long des dispositifs d'acheminement respectifs (16, 18), à insérer chaque article de courrier (22) dans l'enveloppe associée (24), tandis que la station associée (12) se déplace vers le point de distribution (20), et à distribuer chaque enveloppe (24) avec son article de courrier inséré (22) de la station associée (12) au point de distribution (20). On fait alors recirculer chaque station (12) le long des dispositifs d'acheminement (16, 18) et du point de distribution (20) pour répéter le cycle. Cette invention a également trait à un appareil (10) permettant de réaliser ce procédé.
