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.
