ABSTRACT:
A sheet collector for serially receiving a plurality of sheets, retaining the sheets in a stack, and selectively ejecting the entire stack of sheets from the sheet collector includes a driven endless conveyor, idler rollers positioned adjacent to the driven endless conveyor, and movable stops positioned downstream of the idler rollers. An idler-roller/stop shaft, positioned adjacent to, but below the path of the sheets, is rigidly attached to the stops and an axle support for the idler rollers. The idler-roller/stop shaft is rotated angularly to move the stops and the idler rollers from opposite sides of the sheet path, into the sheet path. When the stops are rotated into the path of the sheets, the sheets contact the stops and are held from further movement. However, when the idler rollers are moved into the sheets' path they contact the stack of sheets previously held by the stops and urge the sheets against the driven endless conveyor which ejects the stack or pile of sheets from the sheet collector. The angular positions of the stops and the idler rollers on the idler-roller/stop shaft are adjustable and the amount of angular rotation of the idler-roller/stop shaft is also adjustable.
