ABSTRACT:
This sheet feeding and collating apparatus has a frame supporting a plurality of upwardly open collating compartments arranged in a row and slanting relative to the vertical. The frame also supports a sheet input feeder as well as a sheet transport and guide mechanism located above the collating compartments so that a sheet advancing roller is substantially aligned with an upper edge of each compartment. At least one tiltable guide gate is located above each compartment. The gates are sequentially operable by respective magnets in response to the movement of a sheet through a light beam to sequentially deflect the sheets into respective compartments. Each interruption of the light beam actuates a stepping switch which in turn connects the operating magnets sequentially to their respective energizing circuit. When the last compartment in a sequence has received a sheet, the stepping switch is reset to begin a new sequence in a ring around fashion. The sheet input feeder is capable of receiving sheets, for example, from a copier or printer, and to supply these sheets into the collator.
