ABSTRACT:
The method and apparatus for offsetting sheets laterally with respect to their travel in a predetermined direction along a path. The method includes directing the sheets away from the path and through a second curved path aligned in skewed relation to their direction of travel in the original path and then directing the sheets back into the original path. Where some sheets are selectively fed through the second path and others only along the original path, they all can then be collected in a single stack in laterally offset relation to each other. The apparatus for offsetting the sheets includes feeding means for feeding the sheets in the predetermined direction along the original path and guide structure for directing the sheets along the curved path. The guide structure is curved about an axis skewed relative to the direction of travel of the sheets along their original path to effect the offsetting.
