ABSTRACT:
An improvement in sheet sorters in which movable bins are incremented past a sheet entrance and the bins are cantilever-mounted and incremented in the sorter from only one side of the bins. The unsupported side or end of at least one of the cantilevered bins is temporarily supported to prevent its sagging from the weight of sheets loaded therein, or other causes. Specifically, the free end of the bin which is currently in position to receive sheets entering the sorter from the sheet entrance is supported by a small rotatably driven indexing bin support, such as a star-wheel, which is mounted to allow unrestricted access to the bins for the removal of stacks of sorted sheets.
