PURPOSE:To aim at reduction in a paper jam and high-speed promotion for paper distribution, by making a bin itself advance into a paper feed passage with contact between the contact piece projectingly installed in a level rotating device and a lever, and leading a tip of paper directly into the bin. CONSTITUTION:Paper P out of a copying machine is conveyed to a vertically lower direction by a feed passage 3. During this conveyance, when a belt 7 is moved and a contact piece 6 is rotated by making it contact with a lever 5 from either of upper and lower directions, it pulls a trunnion 8 along a guide slot 10 via a link 9, making a guide part G of a bin 4 advance into a paper feed passage. With this operation, the paper P comes off the conveyor belt 3 and it is led into the inside of this bin 4 via the guide part G. And, the belt 7 further moves forward, and when the contact piece 6 passes through the lever 5, the trunnion 8 is pulled back by a spring 12 and the bin 4 is also restored. At this time, the paper inside the bin 4 receives a vibration, and its stackability is improved. Thus, a paper jam is reduced and simultaneously the paper is made possible for reciprocative distribution so that a time loss is reducible.
