<p>Sheet sorting device (1) having a number of sorting units (6,7; 39) each comprising a number of superposed sheet receiving bins (9,10; 40) and a conveyor system (25-33; 43,44) underneath said units, which device (1) is adapted for selectively directing copy sheets discharged from a copying machine (2) in one of said bins (9,10; 40).… The conveyor system (25-33; 43,44) is displaceable between a position in which it projects outside the device (1) and is above the sheet receiving tray (4) of the copying machine (2) and a position in which it is situated completely below a sorting unit (6,7; 39).… Beneath the conveyor system (25-33; 43,44) an additional sheet receiving tray (36,45) is situated for receiving sheets fed by the conveyor system. …<??>If during a sorting operation a disturbance occurs in a sorting unit (6,7; 39), the conveyor system (25-33; 43,44) automatically conveys copy sheets discharged thereafter by the copying machine (2) into the additional tray (36,45).… If such a disturbance occurs elsewhere in the sorting device (1) the conveyor system (25-33; 43,44) is displaced to the position underneath the sorting unit (6,7; 39); copy sheets discharged thereafter by the copying machine (2) are collected in the receiving tray (4) of the copying machine (2).</p> |
