AN APPARATUS FOR STACKING SMALL BUNDLES OF SIGNATURES

摘要

An apparatus for stacking signatures is compactly constructed with a device to receive and forward horizontally a stream of the signatures partially overlapped from the end of a conveyor connected to the end of a rotary printing press; a device to pile up vertically the signatures into a small bundle; a frame member to stack up the small bundle directly underneath the piling device, such frame member being rotatable 180 DEG to turn each small bundle alternately for stack compensation; and a receiving table movable vertically within the frame member by an elevating mechanism and rotatable along with the frame member.
