APPARATUS FOR PREVENTING DISORDER IN SHEET ALIGNMENT

摘要

An apparatus for preventing sheets conveyed successively on a conveyor from being stacked up at the end of the conveyor in a disordered state in alignment is improved so as to assure stable operation without deforming edge portions of the handled sheets. The improvements reside in that the apparatus comprises a pair of guide members disposed on a sheet passageway above an inlet of a sheet stack-up section respectively so as to be swingable in the direction of traveling of the sheets and adjustable in positions in the lateral directions, drive means for independently adjusting the positions of the guide members in the lateral directions, sensor means for detecting opposite side edge portions of a sheet moving on a transporting conveyor, and control means responsive to results of detection by the sensor means for actuating the drive means to adjust the positions of the respective guide means in the lateral directions.
