ABSTRACT:
A sheet moving apparatus comprising: a track having first and second spaced side walls and a third wall therebetween to form a sheet receiving space therebetween; and a sheet feeder for moving a sheet towards the third wall and thereafter moving the sheet in a downstream direction along the track. The sheet feeder comprises a rotatable member having a surface positioned in the sheet receiving space and a rotary drive enabling the rotatable member and its surface to be rotated. The sheet feeder also includes a rotatable or pivotal member moveable between first and second positions with regard to the rotatable member, with the pivotal member having a roller member to cooperate with the surface of the rotatable member to move a sheet towards the third wall when the pivotal member is in the first position, and the rotatable member and its surface are rotated. The pivotal member also cooperates with the surface of the rotatable member to move the sheet in the downstream direction when the pivotal member is pivoted to the second position and the rotatable member and its surface are rotated. An actuator and a resilient member are used for moving the pivotal member between the first and second positions.
