DEVICE FOR INTERCEPTING SHEETS BEING DISPOSED IN A PILE FROM A MACHINE FOR PRODUCING BLANKS FOR PACKAGES

摘要

A device having a movable grid mounted on a movable carriage to temporarily intercept sheets being deposited from a machine for processing the sheets being discharged into a pile from a machine for processing the sheets includes an arrangement of a planetary system comprising a pinion movable in a circular arc coacting with a rim gear rigidly mounted on a frame and an arrangement for connecting the pinion to the carriage so that as the pinion rotates in the circular arc, the carriage is shifted between a retracted position and a second position for intercepting the sheets being deposited in pile. The device is particularly useful in a delivery station for a machine for die cutting package blanks in sheets of material.
