Abstract (en)

A sheet conveying device in which sheets are conveyed to a first sheet conveyor (13) by a second sheet conveyor (10). A suction device (14) deflects a trailing portion of a sheet as it reaches the first sheet conveyor (13), slowing the sheet down. A gas blast device (30) deflects a leading portion of a second sheet in the opposite direction, so that an overlap is formed between the leading edge of the second sheet and the trailing edge of the first sheet. A control body (20) moves to control the suction and gas blast device (14, 30). Sheets can be deflected from a first path of travel to a second path of travel using a roller (66) and beak (67). <IMAGE>
