<p>A disk-type inverter-stacker system with plural rotatable fingers (20) extending radially from an axis of rotation for sequentially inverting and stacking onto a stacking tray (14) printed sheets outputted by a reproduction apparatus, by temporarily retaining at least the leading portion of the sheet in sheet transporting slots (18) defined by inside surfaces of the rotatable fingers (20). A fixed position sheet corrugating member (42) is spaced from but interdigitated with the rotatable fingers (20), extending slightly radially beyond the inside surfaces of the fingers to slightly corrugate the leading portion of said sheet while it is in the finger-defined slots to provide improved inverting and stacking of sheets exceeding the length of the slots. Preferably, there is a fixed semi-cylindrical baffle (24) radially inside of said rotatable fingers (20), and the sheet corrugating member (42) is an arcuate narrow finger-like member mounted to and extending partially around this arcuate baffle between two of the fingers, causing sheets exceeding the length of the slots to form a loop extending above the inverter-stacker system.</p> |
