ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for accumulating paper sheets singulated from a paper sheet feeder on a registration deck. The apparatus includes: a sheet feeder for feeding the topmost paper sheet from a stack of paper sheets; an accumulator having an accumulation deck for receiving the sheets of paper from the sheet feeder; a registration stop for stopping the advance of the paper sheets along the accumulation deck; a deflector downstream of the sheet feeder and above the accumulation deck; and a pair of top and bottom rollers defining a nip, the nip being located adjacent, upstream and above the deflector and downstream of the sheet feeder. The top roller is formed from a foam, and the distance between the registration stop and the deflector is less than the length of the paper sheets, whereby each sheet fed from the sheet feeder is stopped by the registration stop and the trailing edge of the stopped sheet is kicked up by the deflector off the accumulation deck and is raised further off the accumulation deck by the top, foam roller, and whereby the paper sheets accumulate on the accumulation deck in the same order as when the sheets were in the sheet feeder.
