ABSTRACT:
In a copier including a photoconductor comprising a web of photoconductive material, having a plurality of photoconductive sections connected in series with one another to form an endless strip-type photoconductor, and including suitable instrumentalities for successively feeding the photoconductive sections from a zigzag folded stack of such sections through several processing stations and back to the stack, there is provided apparatus for storing the photoconductive sections in the stack. The storing apparatus includes a receptacle having oppositely disposed walls defining an inlet opening and an outlet opening. The walls relatively converge towards one another from the inlet opening to the outlet opening, for guiding the folds of the photoconductive sections progressively closer to the outlet opening than the mid-portions thereof in transit through the receptacle. A pair of tamping devices, movably mounted on the opposite receptacle walls, cooperate with the receptacle walls for guiding incoming photoconductive sections toward the stack. In addition, apparatus is provided for moving the tamping devices out of step with one another toward and away from the stack, including for example, a pair of pivotally mounted and spring-loaded carriers adapted to slidaly engage the tamping devices during only a portion of the movement thereof so as to spring-urge each of the tamping devices into sliding engagement with the receptacle wall associated with the same during said portion of movement.
