ABSTRACT:
A sorting machine is provided for attachment to a copying machine to receive successive sheets from an outlet from the copying machine. The sorting machine has plural trays mounted to move progressively past the sheet outlet in opposite directions, the trays being relatively close together when positioned at either side of the outlet, but adjacent trays being widely spaced to accommodate the incoming sheets from the outlet. The trays are fed past and spaced at the outlet by driven members at opposite sides of the tray which engage and shift stacked trays in succession. The driver members are notched discs functioning as a linear Geneva movement. The remote ends of the trays are freely supported one on the other for relative longitudinal and pivotal movement. In certain forms, the remote tray ends are mounted one on the other by end pieces which have wedge surfaces causing the remote ends to be spaced apart responsive to longitudinal movement of the trays.
