ABSTRACT:
Device for the assorted collection of sheets, comprising a transport track and bins situated along this track. The bins are provided with guide organs and each bin can be moved so that its guide organ protrudes into the track so as to guide a sheet into a bin. In the transport track the sheets are transported by means of belts running around a vacuum holddown device so as to hold the sheets onto the belts. The device may be arranged to receive copy sheets exiting from a copying apparatus and may be operated selectively in a first mode in which all similar copy sheets are delivered to a particular bin, or in a second mode in which sheets are collated into a predetermined number of bins. Control circuitry is provided which includes a memory unit for storing a signal condition indicative of delivery of a copy sheet into the last bin of the predetermined number of bins and a manually operable switch for actuating the device to collate a subsequent series of sheets into bins subsequent to the last bin previously utilized.
