ABSTRACT:
A paper collating machine of the kind comprising a plurality of paper holders mounted one above the other or in a row and each arranged to hold a stack of rectangular sheets of paper, and a mechanism for feeding the top sheet from the stack in each holder with one edge of each sheet leading, has the paper holders mounted so that they are inclined laterally across the direction in which the sheets of paper are fed by the feed mechanism and each holder has, at its lower side edge, a supporting surface which, in use, is engaged by and supports one side edge of the stack. The side edges of the sheets slide along the supporting surfaces as the sheets are fed and all of the supporting surfaces lie in a common plane so that the sheets from all of the stacks are laterally aligned with each other as they are fed by the feed mechanism. Preferably the supporting surfaces extend from the holders in the common plane in the direction in which the sheets are fed and so form a guide for all the sheets as they are fed by the feed mechanism. All of the supporting surfaces may be formed by a single flat wall which is inclined to the vertical and they are preferably made of a material which has a high coefficient of friction with the paper.
