Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0005041A1] Continuous feeder mechanism for a continuous paper sorting machine including a receiver 14 comprised of two columns of inclined side-by-side stacks of paper storage bins with entrances for receiving paper sheets from the feeder 10. The feeder 10 has an in-feed conveyor 18 which takes paper from a copy making device 12 and feeds it either to an intermediate downwardly inclined conveyor 26 or onto an intermediate upwardly inclined conveyor 24, depending on whether the feeder 10 is distributing paper from the bottom or from the top. Paper sheets from the intermediate conveyors 24 and 26 in turn are transported to a generally vertically disposed, reversible feeder conveyor 28 which is provided with a plurality of two-way deflectors which intercept the sheets and direct them off the conveyor 28 moving either downwardly or upwardly. A deflector guide section is disposed between the deflectors and the entrances of the bins in the receiver 14.
