ABSTRACT:
A deflecting device for a sheet sorter includes a sheet receiving and transporting assembly having a conveyor system for receiving recording sheets and for transporting the sheets to a collating device, and a main sheet tray overlying the conveyor system. A deflector disposed at an inlet end of the receiving and transporting assembly is movable between a first position in which an upper plate of the deflector forms a continuation of the main tray and sheets are directed onto the main tray, and a second position in which sheets are directed by a lower plate of the deflector to the conveyor system for transport to the collating device. The deflector is connected by a force regenerative device to a control assembly for moving the same between its first and second positions so that when the control assembly firmly and positively shifts between those positions--and the deflector, in conjunction with the main tray, is supporting a sufficiently weighty load of sheets to interfere with its normal movement--the deflector is not positionally shifted until the interfering load is removed from the main tray. Upon such removal, the force regenerative device causes the deflector to be immediately shifted as intended.
