ABSTRACT:
An upright hopper has a pair of bottom doors which support one or more newspaper sections in flat, horizontal orientation. The doors shift in opposite directions toward an open position in timed relationship to movement of a conveyor passing beneath the doors to drop the sections onto defined bucket areas of the conveyor. One or more hoppers, associated with a single, horizontally moving conveyor, can be utilized by one or more operators to meter toward downstream processing equipment newspaper editions which have been completely assembled before reception in the hopper. Alternatively, the hoppers may be used for newspaper assembly or collation, wherein each operator contributes respective sections to corresponding hoppers which open at the proper time to assemble the complete edition. A number of sensing devices are provided to ensure reliable, automatic operation with minimal attention.
