Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0654431A1] An existing sheet material feeder has a feed tray (14) which holds sheet material in an on-edge orientation in which side surfaces of the sheet material are generally vertical. An apparatus is provided to convert the sheet material feeder to one having a feed tray (44) which holds sheet material in a lying-down orientation in which side surfaces of the sheet material are generally horizontal. The apparatus for converting the on-edge sheet material feeder to the lying-down sheet material feeders includes a frame having a pair of parallel side sections (102). A single sheet material feed drum (66) is disposed between and is connected with the side sections. The side sections are connected with side sections of the existing collator conveyor sheet material feeder. <IMAGE>
