ABSTRACT:
A rotary collator with a plurality of radially extending partitions in which sheets to be collated are held by a sheet clamp mounted in each bin. The sheet clamp for each bin is released during the sheet ejecting portion of the collating cycle according to a program implemented by a programming disc into which selector pins corresponding to specified bins are inserted. The programming disc moves relative to an electromechanical mechanism which enables an electrical switch to complete a circuit to release the clamps. The spacing of the selector pins is such that consecutive empty bins require the electrical switch to be maintained in a disabled position, while consecutive loaded bins result in maintaining the electrical switch in an enabled position, thereby eliminating bouncing of the switch.
