ABSTRACT:
Document stacking apparatus for continuously stacking a plurality of documents in the sequential order in which they are fed into the apparatus is disclosed. Motor driven feed rollers feed the documents into the apparatus and along a predetermined path defined by guide plates and a deflector. A stacking bed is provided for supporting the documents in a stacked arrangement and a moveable baffle is mounted upon the stacking bed for defining a stacking cavity with the guide plates. The stacking bed is inclined with respect to a horizontal plane and is also provided with an inclined slot. A follower is fixedly secured to the baffle and slidably disposed within the slot whereby the baffle is gravity-biased toward a first position so as to normally minimize the stacking cavity. The baffle is also movable, under the influence of the incoming documents to be stacked, against the gravity-bias toward a second position so as to expand the stacking cavity and thereby accommodate successive documents to be stacked. A roller mechanism, rotatable in a direction counter to that which would normally feed the documents along the predetermined path, is also provided for retarding the movement of the documents and facilitating their stacked arrangement within the stacking cavity.
