Abstract

1471069 Sheet ordering HARRIS CORP 26 April 1974 [7 May 1973] 18462/74 Heading B8R Signatures delivered from a printing press in a loosely shingled array are forwarded by three laterally spaced conveyer tapes at station 11 to a dense shingling station 12 where they pile up against the inclined surface 43 of a member 42 mounted on movable belts 13, 14 which retract the member as the shingled stack grows. When a stack is completed, as sensed by a switch 50, and when a gap in the forwarded array is sensed by a photo-electric cell 140, a stacking tray 15, of the type disclosed in Specification 1,424,838, between the belts 13, 14 is raised to remove the stack to a remote location. The gap may be caused by a clamping device or a diverter which guides succeeding signatures to a second dense shingling station. Fingers 40, 41, cams (49), Fig. 4 (not shown), retractable guides 90, 91 and a presser roller 65 and/or tapes facilitate stacking. The roller 65 and the central conveyer tape at station 11 are pneumatically retracted when the tray 15 is raised. A sensor 111 comprises three spaced switches which detect the rate of build up of the stack and initiate and control the speed of retraction of the member 42. A counter may be used to determine the number of signatures to be stacked on each tray.
