PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sorting device capable of certainly receiving and delivering a sheet bundle to a tray without damaging the sheet bundle with an extrusion claw at a low cost. SOLUTION: An extrusion mechanism 33 pivots the extrusion claw 52 turnably. A cushion roller 56 is mounted to one end of the extrusion claw 52, and an extrusion surface 54 is formed at the other end. The sheet bundle 50 is delivered to the tray 46a from a delivery conveyor 31. Then, the cushion roller 56 is pressed by the tray 46a in interlock with moving of the tray 46a in the carry-out direction C1, and the extrusion claw 52 turns from a horizontal position (Fig. (A)) to the maximum extrusion position (Fig. (C)). Turning of this extrusion claw 52 causes the extrusion surface 54 to press the rear end of the sheet bundle 50 to the inside of the tip of the tray 46a on the extrusion claw 52 side. Thus, the sheet bundle 50 is certainly received and delivered to the tray 46a. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
