    摘要: Apparatus and methods for stacking flexible sheets, including signatures of magazines, books, newspapers and the like: A stream of overlapped signatures, continuously transported toward the left along a horizontal path from an initial location to a second location, is then intermittently fed about an inclined path from the second location at an inclined angle upward toward the left and about an arcuate path and downward to the left at an angle of 45* with the horizontal to feed the overlapped signatures, serially, to a V shaped input bin. The input bin has a first movable wall and a second wall, whereby the leading edge of each of the signatures abut against the second wall and wherein each of the signatures fed into the input bin operate to form a stack therewithin with the bottom surface of the bottommost signature resting on first wall, and the other signatures aligned in a stack thereabove with the leading edges of each of the stacked signatures resting against the second wall. The overlapped signatures are fed, at an average surface speed, until the input bin is full. The feeding is then halted to enable the input bin to be unloaded. The transporting and feeding operation are so performed with the input bin that an imaginary point on one of the signatures travels in a first locus lying in a single plane. Similarly, an output bin, including a V shaped trough having a first wall and a second wall, and a third bin, intermediate the two bins, including a V shaped trough having a movable first wall and a second wall, are provided. The third bin further includes a fixed ceiling opposed to its first wall. A conveying means is coupled to each of the second walls of the three bins, which second walls are likewise movable. The second bin, the intermediate third bin, the output bin, and a conveying means are so oriented that the aforesaid imaginary point on one of the signatures travels in a second locus lying wholly in a plane perpendicular to the single plane. A stack of signatures, formed in the input bin, is indexed to the third bin, wherein they are compressed by the action of the first wall moving up against the compression ceiling, and, later, a compressed stack of signatures in the third bin is transported to the output bin, whereupon such compressed stack of signatures can be unloaded manually or by other suitable means.

    摘要: A sheet container includes a housing, a stacking part provided in the housing so that recording sheets are stacked on the stacking part, a contact part to be brought into contact with edges of the recording sheets in a length direction on the stacking part in an attached state in which the contact part is attached into the housing, a connection member connected to the stacking part or the housing and having an extension part longer than the stacking part in the length direction, and a retreater that retreats the contact part in the attached state from the extension part with the connection member connected to the stacking part or the housing.

    摘要: Systems, devices and methods for receiving an item in a receptacle are disclosed. Features are disclosed for receiving and guiding an item in a receiving space of a receptacle so as to attenuate or remove the impact force of the item on the receptacle. Some embodiments of the disclosure include a bumper having an impact surface which absorbs most or all of the impact force of the item and thereby mitigates or removes the imposition of cyclic impact loads on the receptacle from repeated receipt of items. The bumper may be structurally and/or functionally de-coupled or otherwise physically separated from the receptacle such that an advantageous division of labor is created between absorbing the impact and receiving the item. This disclosure may be useful, for example, in modern industrial operations where a high volume of items are received daily, such as in mail sorting and handling operations.

    摘要: A sheet supporting apparatus includes first and second units. The first unit includes a first housing, first and second lock portions, a first shaft configured to be supported rotatably with respect to the first housing and to turnably support the first lock portion, and a second shaft configured to be supported rotatably with respect to the first housing and to turnably support the second lock portion. The second unit includes a second housing and first and second engagement portions provided in the second housing and configured to engage respectively with the first and second lock portions. The first and second shafts are disposed such that extension lines of rotational axes of the first and second shafts cross with each other in a plan view.

    摘要: Systems and methods for folding a stack of substrate sheets are provided. The system may include a roller assembly and a positioning mechanism. The roller assembly is configured for folding the stack of substrate sheets and the positioning mechanism is configured to position the substrate or stack for entry into the roller assembly. The positioning mechanism includes an upper curved form and a lower curved form to guide the stack of substrate sheets into a curved position for folding. The positioning mechanism further includes a folding blade positioned to extend through the gap between the upper and lower curved forms. The roller assembly can move the folded stack of substrate sheets in at least two directions.
