PAPER PIECE STORING DEVICE.

摘要

A paper piece storing device disposed in association with a conveying mechanism and having a paper piece storing container (20) for storing paper pieces being conveyed. This device includes a temporarily storing section (33), a rotatably displacing mechanism (30, 80) and a separating mechanism (60). The temporarily storing section (33) is adapted to receive paper pieces M being conveyed and stores them temporarily. The rotatably displacing mechanism (30, 80) is adapted to rotatably displace the storing section, whereby the paper pieces stored in the storing section are led to a paper piece storing position of the paper piece storing container (20). The separating mechanism (60) prevents the paper pieces stored in the temporarily storing section from rotating against the operation of the rotatable displacing of the temporarily storing section and separates the paper pieces from the temporarily storing section at the paper piece storing position of the paper piece storing container. <IMAGE>
