ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for stacking and loading sheet material being continuously ejected along a flow path from a sheet production apparatus has a frame, a stationary rake, a catching rake and a drive. The stationary rake is mounted on the frame and positioned for directing sheet material being ejected to a stacking area. The catching rake is pivotally and extensibly mounted on the frame. The drive is adapted for effecting movement of the catching rake. The catching rake cyclically moves through a series of positions from a ready position wherein the catching rake is out of the flow path of the sheet material allowing the sheet material to accumulate in the stacking area, to a catching position wherein the catching rake is extended into the flow path for stacking the sheet material thereon forming a stack of sheet material and allowing the accumulated sheet material to be removed from the stacking area, to a retracted position wherein the catching rake is retracted from the flow path of sheet material dropping the stack of sheet material into the stacking area as the catching rake moves relative to the stationary rake.
