A paper accumulating device (20) according to the present invention comprises a paper bundle feeding port (31), a plurality of paper bundle receiving portions (33, 34) including paper bundle receivers (21, 22) for accumulating paper bundles respectively, a delivery path (23, 24, 25) for delivering the paper bundles sequentially fed to the paper bundle feeding port to the paper bundle receiving portions (33, 34). The paper bundle receiving portions (33, 34) are provided with sorting mechanisms (40, 60) for sorting the delivered paper bundles. The delivery path includes a main delivery path portion (23) extended from the paper bundle feeding port (31) to a branch point (32), and a plurality of branch delivery path portions (24, 25) extended from the branch point (32) to the related paper bundle receiving portions (33, 34) respectively. The branch point (32) is provided with a switching gate plate (26) for operating to selectively connect the main delivery path portion (23) to the branch delivery path portions (24, 25) respectively. <IMAGE> |
