ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for receiving multiple first documents cut from a single sheet that are being fed side by side in a first direction and individually guiding and controlling the first documents through a right angle turn includes a plurality of right angle turn over modules. Each of such modules includes a lower plate having input structure at one end for receiving the first documents conveyed thereto in a first direction and an upper plate mounted a fixed distance above the lower plate. The upper plate includes a turn over section adjacent to a downstream end of the input structure and angled at 45.degree. to the first direction. The upper plate also includes a plurality of output rollers rotatably mounted in the top of the upper plate and oriented for moving the first documents at a direction orthogonal to the first direction. A turning guide that is positioned adjacent the turn over section, includes a curved edge that extends a fixed distance from the turn over section for guiding the first documents around the turn over section. A belt assembly is positioned above the upper plate and oriented for conveying the first documents in a direction orthogonal to the first direction. A deflector is located between the input structure of adjacent right angle turn over modules for deflecting one of the first documents whereby the one of the first documents avoids being conveyed into any part of the right angle turn over device into which an adjacent first document is being fed.
