ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for merging two separate streams of flat paper products or the like into a single stream of such products are disclosed, and wherein first and second longitudinally extending belt conveyors are provided within a frame. A drive is operatively connected to each of said first and second belt conveyors for advancing the same at corresponding speeds. Each belt conveyor has an entry end and a discharge end at opposing ends of said frame, with the two conveyors being vertically and laterally inclined with respect to each other such that the discharge end of one conveyor is vertically above and longitudinally aligned with the discharge end of the other belt conveyor. A deflection conveyor is positioned above the discharge end of the upper belt conveyor so as to downwardly deflect onto the lower belt conveyor those paper products conveyed on the upper belt conveyor.
