摘要： A method and system for gathering enclosure documents for insertion in an envelope inserting system having a plurality of enclosure feeders for releasing enclosure documents and a plurality of pusher fingers mounted on a pair of endless chains for gathering the released documents. A plurality of flexible extension fingers are connected to the downstream end of enclosure feeder so as to support the released document before the released document is pushed off by a pair of pusher fingers onto a chassis deck. The downstream ends of the flexible extension fingers form a gap with the chassis deck, allowing the documents released upstream to pass under the extension fingers so that the document released from an enclosure feeder is stacked on top of the documents released from the upstream feeders. Because the extension fingers are flexible, the gap under the extension fingers can be widened by a stack of documents released upstream. Preferably, a centering device is installed downstream from each enclosure feeder to guide the released document.

摘要翻译： 一种用于收集外壳文件的方法和系统，用于插入信封插入系统中，所述信封插入系统具有用于释放外壳文件的多个外壳馈送器和安装在一对环形链上的多个推动器指针，用于收集释放的文档。 多个柔性延伸指状物连接到外壳馈送器的下游端，以便在释放的文件被一对推动器手指推到底盘平台上之前支撑释放的文件。 柔性延伸指的下游端形成与底盘平台的间隙，允许上游释放的文件在延伸指状物下通过，使得从外壳进料器释放的文件堆叠在从上游进料器释放的文件的顶部。 因为延伸指状物是柔性的，所以延伸指状物下方的间隙可以被上游释放的一堆文件扩大。 优选地，定心装置安装在每个外壳进料器的下游以引导释放的文件。

摘要： A low cost, high-speed device for rotating a variable thickness substrate stacks in a short distance, and with neatness and precision. The substrate stack rotating device includes a lower rotating disk and an upper rotating disk that are located in a substrate path to receive a moving substrate stack. The upper disk is driven downward such that a substrate stack is pinched between the lower and upper rotating disks. The resultant clamping force helps maintain substrate stack integrity and neatness. Once a substrate stack is clamped, one of the disks is rotated, bring the substrate stack into a desired orientation. The upper rotating disk is then released, the substrate stack beneficially moves away from the disks, and the substrate stack rotating device is ready to accept another substrate stack.

摘要： A method for transporting a sheet on a ferromagnetic transport belt which includes spacing a first switchable retaining device adjacent the ferromagnetic transport belt. The first switchable retaining device is used to position a magnetic retaining element, for example, a permanent magnet, on a sheet that is adjacent the transport belt. The magnet is released from the first switchable retaining device and is fixedly adhered to the transport belt. The sheet, which is caught between the magnet and the transport belt, is fixed to the transport belt and is transported to a second switchable retaining element that removes the magnet. The invention also encompasses a device including a first switchable retaining device that cooperates with the transport belt in the manner described.

摘要： A document set compiler and eject apparatus including a belt transport system as well as an output roll system, wherein the belt and rolls of each respective system operate in conjunction with one another to provide smooth and effective transport of the document set from a compiler tray to an output tray. In particular, the output rolls, located downstream from the belt, are driven at a speed substantially greater than the speed of the transport belts for actively removing the document set from the belts to prevent damage to the trail edge thereof. The compiler tray also includes a retard roll system for maintaining the registration of the document set as it is transferred from the transport belts to the output rolls.

摘要： The housing of a delivery unit is engaged with a predetermined part of the body of an image forming apparatus, the housing being pivotable upwardly from the body. An endless belt is wound on a pair of pulleys. One of the pulleys is mounted on a first shaft which is secured to the housing which is latched in position on the body while the other pulley is mounted on a second shaft that is movable with respect to the housing. The second shaft is attached to the body, and the endless belit is stretched to restrain the housing from being unlatched and pivoted upwardly from the body. The delivery unit is attached without use of screws. Accordingly, the delivery unit may be readily placed in its operating position on the body with no possibility of the photoreceptor being damaged. In an image forming apparatus having electric component elements disposed under the delivery unit, the maintenance of the element is facilitated.

摘要： Method and apparatus of conveying a sheet in a turning action to alter its path of movement. The operator has the option of conveying the sheet through a bump turn mode or a flow turn mode. In the bump turn mode, the original sheet leading edge on a first conveyor is not the leading edge on the second conveyor but instead the sheet side edge becomes the leading edge. In the flow turn mode, the operator can drive the conveyor members of the first conveyor so that the sheet is rotated ninety degrees on the first conveyor and is then deposited onto the second conveyor so that the sheet leading edge on the first conveyor is also the leading edge on the second conveyor. The apparatus consists of a first conveyor and a second conveyor with the first conveyor having individually driven members for the optional modes mentioned.

摘要： An improved conveyor for signatures, loose sheets, gathered sheets, and the like, with a device for picking them up. The improved conveyor achieves fast signature transport capabilities in overlapped relationship. A mechanism is also provided for entraining the signatures which are operative on each signature prior to a preceding signature moving fully away from the following one. Advantageously, the entrainment members have an outer surface with a high friction coefficient. The initial section of the elevator conveyor belts follows a path which deviates from the oblique plane of lay thereof, preferably a substantially vertical path.
