Method and apparatus for changing the direction of sheet conveyance

摘要

The direction of conveyance of paper sheet is changed through an angle of 90 DEG between processing and/or handling stations. Troublefree operation is ensured and an adjustment in adaptation to different paper sizes is permitted by the provision of a guide ruler 18 which is provided with pressure-applying balls 8 which cooperate with inclined driven conveyor rollers 15. The guide ruler 18 is fixed to a receiving deck 16 and comprises a continuous guiding flange 21 which depends below the level of the apices of the rollers 15. The position of the discharge end of a feeding conveyor 14 is adjustable toward and away from the guide ruler 18 .
