ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an apparatus and method for receiving flat articles having a top edge alignment and horizontal orientation and transporting the articles along a transport path to a vertical orientation and a bottom edge alignment. The apparatus comprises a frame, a deck plate adjustably mounted to the frame, and structure for adjusting the position of the deck plate in a direction transverse to the paper path. A pair of entrance pulleys and exit pulleys are each mounted to the deck plate. The entrance pulleys rotate on a horizontal axis and the exit pulleys rotate on a vertical axis. First and second flexible, endless belts, are each wrapped around one of the entrance pulley and the exit pulleys wherein the belts complete a 90 degree twist from the respective entrance pulley to the respective exit pulley. The apparatus further comprises structure for driving the exit pulleys to move the first and second belts in the same direction and at the same velocity for transporting the articles from the entrance location to the exit location, wherein the driving structure is mounted under the deck plate.
