ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for receiving sheets fed in a first direction and guiding and controlling the sheets through a right angle turn includes a lower plate having input belt assembly at one end for receiving documents conveyed thereto in a first direction and an upper plate cantilevered a fixed distance above the lower plate. The upper plate includes a turn over section adjacent to a downstream end of the input belt assembly and angled at 45.degree. to the first direction. The upper plate further includes at least one idler roller superposed over the input belt assembly for cooperating with the input belt assembly for transporting sheets received by the input belt assembly through the turn over section. There is a turning guide positioned adjacent the turn over section. The turning guide includes an upwardly curved edge that extends a fixed distance from the turn over section for guiding sheets around the turn over section. The apparatus further includes hinge structure for pivotally mounting a mounting end of the upper plate to an end of the lower plate opposite the input belt assembly. The lower plate includes a support block adjacent the hinge structure on which the upper plate rests. The upper plate is in a normal operating position when the turn over section a fixed distance from the curved edge of the turning guide and slides away from the turning guide so that it can be raised for jam clearance.
