Abstract of the Disclosure In envelope stuffing apparatus which has an enclosure inserting station and includes a deck at the inserting station, structure for delivering the envelope in a path of travel to the inserting station, structure for opening the envelope and structure for inserting an enclosure into the envelope; and wherein the opening structure includes a ledge for supporting the flap of the envelope above the deck, and a first finger insertable into the envelope for stripping apart from each other the front and back panels of the envelope; there is provided an improvement in the envelope opening structure. The improvement comprises: a solenoid operable in response to delivery of the envelope to the inserting station; a second finger for depressing the envelope toward the deck against the resistance of the flap supporting ledge; and a linkage assembly. The linkage assembly interconnects the second finger and solenoid for normally holding the second finger out of the path of travel of delivery of the envelope and for lowering the second finger into engagement with the envelope when the solenoid is operated, whereby the envelope is depressed toward the deck after the envelope is delivered. And the lowered second finger depresses the envelope sufficiently to open the envelope to permit insertion of the first finger into the envelope.
