ABSTRACT:
An improved pin driven collator with a freely rotatable platen for crimping a plurality of single sheets into a continuous multiple copy forms is disclosed. The collator assembly comprises a modular assembly having a frame to fix a pin drive, rotary plunger and platen into preselected spatial alignment and to maintain such components in dynamic registry. The rotary plunger is fixed to a shaft which also carries a drive sprocket which is engaged by an endless pin chain loop of the pin drive. A pair of mirror image modular collating assemblies are supported and interconnected by a pair of shafts, a splined drive shaft and a stabilizing shaft. The modular assemblies may slide along the shafts to adjust for varying paper width without disturbing the spatial alignment of the components or their dynamic registry.
