SORTING DEVICE FOR BUNCH OF RECORDING PAPER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce manufacturing cost to a minimum and favorably miniaturize a device by eliminating the need for a motor to generate high torque, in particular. SOLUTION: A sorting means 9 has an endless belt rotationally moved along a distribution passage F in a positive or reverse direction and a release pawl 53 provided on the endless belt. The release pawl 53 is rotationally moved in either a positive or reverse direction to abut the base ends or ends of a bunch of recording paper carried in the distribution passage F so that the bunch of recording paper may be fed from the distribution passage F to a discharge tray 8 while being pushed.
