ABSTRACT:
A sheet transport path system for transporting reproduction sheets along an elongated sheet transport path in a multibin sorter or mailbox system is provided by elongated moving belts having a high friction sheet engaging outside belt surface and an inside belt surface driven by belt drive rollers, and a belt backing system for supporting the inside of the belt flight. A low friction endless band centrally of the inside belt surface is engaged by the belt backing system. The belt backing system is an elongated fixed skid plate system narrower than the low friction endless band, and sliding thereagainst. High friction areas on the inside belt surface on opposite sides of this low friction endless band engage the belt drive roller for non-slip driving of the belt. The belt drive roller may, if desired, have a reduced diameter central groove so as to insure only engaging these outer edge areas of the inside surface of the belt if a thick inner belt surface or thick separate inner belt is utilized.
