ABSTRACT:
A device or apparatus for collecting printed matter in a pile and delivering the pile to a conveyor at the same high speed as the output rate of a modern printing machine. A collecting basket can be rotated 180.degree. to enable alternate piling of folded printing matter to keep the piles even. The bottom of the collecting basket is a roller conveyor. To achieve high speed operation, the lateral opening in the collecting basket has two swing gates and the collecting basket is supported on a laterally reciprocable sled. From a starting position, where the basket is in position for collecting newspapers, a motor can move the sled, with the basket, at a sufficiently high speed horizontally through a relatively short distance to a stop position, at which position the lateral opening of the collecting basket is open because of outward swing movement of the two swing gates. The stop position is adjacent a belt conveyor at the same level as the basket bottom roller conveyor. The high speed of the sled, and thus also of the pile of newspaper, gives the pile a kinetic energy and when the sled and thus the basket are stopped the pile moves out along the basket bottom roller conveyor and out onto the belt conveyor which moves in the same direction and at the same speed. The basket can have two side openings each with swing gates and the sled can be moved in either direction to discharge a pile onto one or the other of a pair of belt conveyors at opposite stop positions of the sled.
