ABSTRACT:
A sheet stacking apparatus having a frame with an inlet for sheet stock and first and second sheet receiving structures. A sheet guide member is provided and is movable between positions for facilitating guiding of the sheet stock to a respective one of the first and second sheet receiving structures. A sheet stock size selection device produces control signals indicative of a size of the sheet stock inputted at the inlet. A control device is responsive to the control signals for controlling movement of the sheet guide member. The sheet guide member includes a clamp member thereon movable into and out of engagement with a support in one of the sheet receiving regions to physically hold the sheet stock delivered thereto in place. The sheet guide member additionally includes an auxiliary roller and a lever arm with a linkage interconnecting the lever arm, the sheet guide member and the sheet clamp member. Thus, sheet stock fed to the inlet will cause the control device, in response to a first of the control signals indicative of a sheet stock of a first size, movement of the sheet guide member to a first position to guide the sheet stock to the first receiving region or, in response to a second of the control signals indicative of sheet stock of a second size, movement of the sheet guide member to the second position to guide the sheet stock to the second receiving region.
