ABSTRACT:
A turning and orienting device can receive an article such as a folded paper, envelope or the like, and can turn the article and/or rotate the article for re-orienting the article. An annular plate is constantly rotating, and a central plate in the same plane is fixed. Spring urged balls can receive the article therebeneath to urge the article against the plates; therefore, the portion on the stationary plate will be held still while the portion on the rotating plate will be moved in a circular path. By adjusting the location of the balls, and varying the point at which the .article is stopped, virtually any combination of turning and rotation of the article can be accomplished.
