ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for feeding and accumulating ribbon material is disclosed. The apparatus includes a specific feed mechanism for promoting zig-zag loop folding of the ribbon. The apparatus also includes a reversing means for reorienting a pile of folded zig-zag ribbon material such that ribbon material is inclined backwardly to allow the ribbon to be removed from the top of the pile. Additionally disclosed are an optical array of level sensors for controlling the paper level in a stacking area and a second array for controlling the volume of paper ribbon in a storage area.
