parallel to the first and second axes of rotation, and in operative association with the first roller so as to define a second nip which supplies sufficient pressure so as to activate pressure activated cohesive on a business form passing through the second nip. This embodiment may further comprise a business form folder, including a first folder roller rotatable about a fourth axis of rotation substantially parallel to the third axis, and operatively positioned with respect to the third pressure-seal roller and first and second fold plates so that the third roller effects folding of a business form passing between the third pressure-seal roller and the first folder roller, and effects sealing of the business form when passing from the second fold plate through the second nip. Insheet after it has passed through the second nip in such a manner that the trailing edge of the folded sheet is forced to follow the surface of the first roller as it rotates, thereby introducing the trailing edge into the first nip, where it becomes the leading edge of the folded sheet. And drive means for driving at least one of the rollers to effect movement of a folded sheet through the nips.
The invention also relates to a method of handling a business form having patterns of pressure activated cohesive, using first and second fold rollers, and first, second and third pressure-seal rollers, first and second fold plates, and a holding device above the first and second pressure-seal rollers. The method may comprise substantially automatically: (a) Feeding
