APPARATUS FOR POCKETING DOCUMENTS IN VERTICALLY ALIGNED POCKETS

摘要

APPARATUS FOR POCKETING DOCUMENTS IN VERTICALLY ALIGNED POCKETS An apparatus for pocketing documents in vertically-aligned pockets. The apparatus includes a frame and slides for mounting the frame for reciprocal movement between a home position and an extended position relative to the apparatus. A plurality of vertically-aligned, pocket members is mounted on the frame for selectively receiving documents to be pocketed. A transfer station, having first and second track members, receives a document therebetween, with the first track member being mounted on the frame for movement therewith. A first transport apparatus is used to move a document in a first direction to said transfer station, and a second transport apparatus is used to move a document in a second direction from the transfer station to the plurality of pocket members. A transfer apparatus is used to transfer a document at the transfer station from the first transport apparatus to said second transport apparatus. The first track member is moveable in the first direction when the frame is moved from said home position to the extended position to enable a document which may jam at the transfer station to be removed therefrom.
