<p>Paper leaves, conveyed through a conveyor belt system (2), are inserted into arcuate grooves (104a) of rotating conveying wheels (103a, 103b) and subjected to a running speed reduction, and discharged under the rotating conveying wheels (103a, 103b) into a space (119) by the use of a stopper (122). When the number of paper leaves (Y) falling into the space (119) reaches a preset count, for example (100), projecting devices (134, 135) are actuated to project bar elements (137a, 137b) into the space (119), with paper leaves exceeding the preset count being piled on the bar elements (137a, 137b). The preset number of paper leaves are then transferred from the space (119). Once transfer is complete, the bar elements (137a, 137b) are retracted enabling the paper leaves collected thereupon to fall into the space (119).</p> |
