PURPOSE:To install a lot of storing receptacles in a narrow space and to easily take out sheets in a simple structure by engaging a stack of plural receptacles with a support member driven up and down to carry out desired sheets. CONSTITUTION:The 1j-th receptacle from the top from which a sheet is to be taken out is selected, and compared with a memoried receptacle (1i). If (i)>(j), that is, the storing receptacle (1j) is positioned above the receptacle (1i) from which sheets were taken out the last time, and elevating table 15 is lifted up, and if (i)<(j), the table is lowered. When the elevating table 15 reaches the receptacle 1(j-1), the table is stopped, and a support member 3 is elongated to normally rotate a motor during a fixed time. Thus, the receptacle 1(j-1) is pivoted upward and backward and stopped just before a pivotal member 2 reaches a dead point. Subsequently, the front upper portion of the receptacle (1j) is opened, and an elevating member is lowered to the j-th receptacle (1j) to discharge sheets. After completion of discharging the sheets, with the descent of the support member 3, the receptacle 1(j-1) is returned to its initial position by its dead load. Thus, sheets can be easily carried out from an arbitrary receptacle. |
