ABSTRACT:
A sheet folding machine used with a copying machine has a first conveying mechanism provided in succession with the sheet discharging path of the copying machine and functioning to widthwise displace a sheet discharged through the sheet discharging path. A second conveying mechanism is arranged below the first conveying mechanism and is adapted to convey the sheet selectively in one direction and in an opposite direction. A switch assembly is provided at the sheet loading ends of the first and second conveying mechanisms for switching the delivery of the sheet to the first and second mechanisms so that the sheet is delivered through the first conveying mechanism to said second conveying mechanism or alternatively directly to the second conveying mechanism. A sheet folding mechanism disposed below the second conveying mechanism folds the sheet in two in a first direction perpendicular to the sheet conveyance direction. First and second folding mechanisms are arranged, in succession, below the sheet folding mechanism. The first folding mechanism is adapted to fold the sheet in two in the sheet conveyance direction, and the second folding mechanism is adapted to fold the sheet, which has been folded in two by the first folding mechanism, in two in a direction opposite to the sheet conveying direction. The sheet folding operation of said first folding mechanism may be inhibited and the sheet is delivered directly to the second folding mechanism. The second folding mechanism can fold the sheet in two selectively at two positions and a sheet conveying mechanism is provided at the sheet discharge side of the second folding mechanism.
