ABSTRACT:
A sheet feeding apparatus including a sheet feeder to feed a sheet from a supply in a forward direction, a sheet registration gate for registering a sheet, the sheet feeder and sheet registration gate being separated by a distance less than the feeding dimension of the sheet being fed such that when the sheet feeder is actuated it feeds a sheet forward toward the registration gate and forms a buckle in the sheet. A sheet guide comprising a baffle pivotally mounted to be articulated within the path of the sheet being fed such that when it is contacted by the short edge of the sheet buckle and initiates tension in that edge it articulates reducing the tension on the short edge of the buckle and advances toward contact and the initiation of tension with the long edge of the sheet buckle. By articulation the baffle tends to equalize the tension on both edges of the sheet and thereby minimizes skewed sheet feed.
