ABSTRACT:
An improved offset collator comprising a sheet gripper/injector transport station and an oscillating sheet receiving station. Copy sheets are transported to the sheet gripper/injector transport station in a specified sequence whereupon they are gripped by the transport station, and in a reciprocating motion, transported to the oscillating sheet receiving station where they are injected into a stack of sheets and released. The oscillating sheet receiving station is synchronized with transport station such that the copy sheets are inserted in the oscillating sheet receiving station in an alternate offset posture. A cooperating logic control system causes the sheets to be inserted into the oscillating sheet receiving station in the proper order and offset. After offset collation is completed, the offset stapling station then cooperates with the oscillating sheet receiving station to staple sets of sheets still in their offset posture.
