ABSTRACT:
Sheets of paper coming from an office machine such as a copier, are collated in a collator having a vertically extending sheet feeding channel. Collating compartments forming a stack extend up from the channel at a slant. Each collating compartment cooperates with its lower end with one or two sheet feeding rollers and a tiltable guide flap. If a flap is in a passive position the respective transport roller, in cooperation with a counter-pressure roller, will move a sheet past the flap. If the flap is tilted into an active position its curved shape will guide a sheet out of the feeding channel into the respective collating compartment. The tiltable guide flaps are so arranged that they extend on both sides of a horizontal plane and of a vertical plane extending through a rotational axis of the respective sheet feeding roller or rollers. These features assure a sheet feeding free of troubles even if sheets of different lengths and of different thicknesses are to be collated.
