<p>PURPOSE: To prevent the cost from being increased when the number of pins is increased by providing a plurality of passage opening/closing means interlocked with actions opening/closing a conveyance passage via the drive of one opening/closing means. CONSTITUTION: When a conveying motor 113 is driven, a discharge sheet S taken into a sorting device 101 is conveyed downstream in a path 103 by a conveyance roller pair 106. If a sorting bin 102 B is specified, when a sheet tip detecting sensor 112A detects the tip of the discharge sheet S moved on the path 103, a solenoid 110 is driven to rotate all flappers 104A-104D. When all flappers 104A-104D close the path 103, the tip of the discharge sheet S being moved collides with the flapper 104A, and it is guided to a nip of a feed roller pair 107B by the flapper 104A. When the tip of the discharge sheet S enters the nip of the feed roller pair 107B, it is fed onto the sorting bin 102B.</p> |
