ABSTRACT:
An apparatus which receives computer diskettes, sleeves the diskettes, and further conveys the diskettes. The apparatus has a receiving port into which computer diskettes are conveyed. A pair of friction rollers convey the diskettes toward the open end of the topmost sleeve in the stack. The open end is held open by a hold-down flap depressing the flap on the lower layer of the sleeve, an insert finger inserted from above the sleeve, and a suction means to uplift the top layer of the sleeve. The diskette is conveyed until it is fully within the sleeve at which point the sleeved diskette engages the curved top edge of a singulate gate slidably attached to the frame. The engagement of the sleeved diskette with the curved top edge of the gate overcomes the upward bias of the gate to slide the gate downwardly to allow the sleeved diskette to pass over the gate and be further conveyed. An additional pair of friction drive rollers located above the exit gate further convey the sleeved diskette out of the sleeve apparatus. The curved edge portion of the slidable gate contains microgrooves which run transverse the direction of travel of the sleeved diskettes. The microgrooves are effective to inhibit empty sleeves from being conveyed over the exit gate along with the sleeved diskette.
