          Application No. 08/266,558                                                  


               Walter discloses a repair inserter sealer.  As shown in                
          Figures 1-11, business forms may be manually inserted into                  
          cooperation with a conveyor between a folder 11 and a sealer                
          12 by providing an outer movable cover 18 for the conveyor,                 
          and                                                                         
          an inner normally stationary cover 25 underneath the outer                  
          cover.  A slot 27 is formed in the inner cover, with first and              
          second guide elements 34, 35 extending upwardly and                         
          downwardly, respectively, from the slot.  Each of the guide                 
          elements has a plate, the first guide element having one                    
          upstanding guide edge, and the second guide element having                  
          adjustably spaced first and second S-shaped guide edges.  A                 
          planar transition portion of the first guide element overlaps               
          and is connected to the second guide element, and a planar                  
          transition portion of the second guide element is connected to              
          the bottom of the inner cover.  The second guide element plate              
          makes an angle of between about 30°-60° with respect to the                 
          cover plate, and causes inserted forms to pass over some of                 
          the rollers  of the conveyor directly into association with                 
          others.
