ABSTRACT:
An improved sorting apparatus and reproducing machine are provided with a plurality of sheet receiving bins. A first frame supports the bins. A sheet transport is arranged in a second frame. The frames are supported for relative movement between a first closed position wherein the sheet transport is operatively associated with the bins and a second open position wherein access is provided to the transport and bins for sheet clearance. The sheet transport includes at least one belt which is operatively maintained under a desired tension. A device is provided for reducing the belt tension in response to the relative movement of the frames between their respective closed and open positions. In accordance with another feature a counterbalance is provided for counterbalancing the frame supporting the transport as it moves away from the frame supporting the bins. The counterbalance comprises at least one cantilever spring mounted to the bin frame and a roller type device mounted to the transport frame which engages the cantilever spring.
