Receiving device in a sheet conveyer for occasional collection of sheets before continued conveyance.

摘要

A receiving device in a sheet conveyer for collecting occasionally one or more sheets (20) to be conveyed thereafter further by a conveyer (11, 12, 13) for continued sheet handling disposed beneath the device comprises a first and a second guide wall (7) located above the conveyer (11-13) in a spaced relationship, said guide walls extending transversely of the conveying direction of the conveyer and at a mutual distance somewhat greater than the length in the conveying direction of the sheets to be received and collected. A movable sheet carrying means (9) is arranged between the guide walls (7) and in the lower edge area of the respective guide walls. Besides, sheet depressing means (10) are arranged to engage the uppermost sheet of the sheets (20) located in the device and depress the pile of sheets downwards towards the conveyer after the sheet carrying means (9) have been moved out of engagement beneath said sheets (20).
