ENVELOPE FLAP SEPARATING AND DISTENDING METHOD AND MECHANISM Abstract of the Disclosure A flap separating mechanism and method for distending a flap from a body portion of an envelope. An envelope moving through a mail handling system may require its flap to be moistened and sealed. As a prelude to the moistening procedure, the flap of the envelope must be separated from the body portion. The separating mechanism disclosed herein comprises a pair of axially adjacent rotatable rollers. One of the rollers is positioned at a higher elevation with respect to the other roller, thus forming a body deforming bite for an incoming envelope. One of the rollers is movable with respect to the other roller in order to accommodate for varying envelope thicknesses.
