AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing inserting devices can cause bending or warping of envelopes when inserting folded sheets, due to the flat contact position of the backing material which can shift and lead to deformation.
Method used
An enclosing device with a medium pushing mechanism that includes a movement restricting portion to prevent the end of the medium from shifting in the thickness direction, ensuring stable insertion into the envelope.
Benefits of technology
Prevents bending or warping of envelopes during the insertion process, ensuring a stable and accurate insertion of folded sheets.

Abstract
To provide an enclosing device capable of preventing bending or sagging during pushing of an enclosure into an envelope.SOLUTION: An enclosing device (100) for enclosing a sheet-like medium in an envelope conveyed to an enclosing position comprises a medium pushing-in mechanism (160) for pushing-in the medium toward the opening of the envelope set at the enclosing position. The medium pushing-in mechanism (160) is provided with a movement regulation part (161) that regulates the movement of the end of the medium in the thickness direction of the medium at an abutment part abutting against the medium during pushing of the medium into the envelope.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
