ABSTRACT:
A bin indicator device for sheet sorting apparatus which includes a plurality of bins for receiving copy sheets advanced from a processor. Extending along the transport path adjacent to the inlets of the bins are a pair of helical screw members which rotatably support and advance a carriage carrying deflector fingers which deflect the copy sheets into the bins. The drive for rotating the helical screw members includes a motor spring which drives a single revolution latching device to provide intermittent movement of the carriage past the inlets of each of the bins which are numbered. A bin indicator device is secured to the carriage to identify the last bin to receive a copy sheet in the event of a jam or malfunction in the sorter and/or processor. A clutch which is connected to the drive of the transport rewinds the motor spring after untensioning thereof after a sorting run to reset the carriage at the bin starting position.
