ABSTRACT:
A drumless paper transporter carries a sheet of paper on a relatively narrow hub located near one end of the sheet. A plurality of canted idler rollers that surround the periphery of the hub dynamically adjust the sheet against a reference edge as the hub rotates. A plurality of guards surround the sheet at least in the region between adjacent idler wheels. In a preferred form, a flexible brush located interior to the path of rotation of the sheet has a free edge opposed by a fixed abutment member located exterior to the path to form a converging wall guide that accurately controls the radial position of the sheet. Also, a stripper blade reliably removes the paper from the hub during continuous operations by pivoting an edge interior to the path of rotation to direct the approaching sheet to an exit slot.
