摘要

SIGNATURE GATHERING MACHINE A signature gathering machine. (14) comprises a plurality of hoppers (16) which can be randomly spaced relative to one another and to collating chain pusher pins(30 a,b,etc). The hoppers (16) can be moved to various positions along a frame 70 and fixed in place at those positions. An adjustable power linkage (FIGS. 3-5 and 7) to the hoppers allows the respective synchronization of the hoppers to be set relative to the collating chain pusher pins for new positions.
