ABSTRACT:
An accumulator for business forms is easily inserted into, or removed from, a path of continuous format, zig-zag business forms being fed from one business form handling machine (such as a folder) to another (such as a mailing machine like an inserter). A barrier having drive belts on one face is movable from a position allowing forms to pass under it, to a barrier position in which the forms engage the barrier and are slowly driven up the barrier until they bend over by their own weight onto a shelf. The forms are also driven along a shelf into contact with a stop, and a stack of forms is formed on the shelf. By handling the forms in this way the forms are creased along the perforations between the continuous forms (making subsequent separation easier) and prevented from developing a curl.
