<p>The production of offset stacks of business forms is effected in a continuous (i.e., without interruption) manner until a vertical stacker (13) into which the forms (39) are fed is full. Between a detacher (11) and the stacker (13), the forms are automatically and continuously directed either to the left or the right from a common center line to offset the forms into different groups with at least one form in each group. This offsetting action may be accomplished by a pair of angled conveyor belts with steel balls movable into and out of association with the conveyor belts by solenoids, and/or by two sets of diverter wheels which are also angled and which are moved up out of engagement with the forms or down into engagement with them.</p> |
