Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a continuous sheet processing apparatus, and more particularly to a sheet processing apparatus capable of feeding in two feeding directions located at right angles to each other.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional continuous paper processing apparatus, for example, in order to supply printed continuous paper sheets to two different kinds of processing apparatuses such as a folding apparatus and a cutting apparatus, one of the apparatuses is directly connected to a printer. It is general that the continuous paper is temporarily wound on the other device, put into a standby state such as accumulation, and then newly supplied as a separate line.

[0003]

Therefore, in the prior art, since one device does not have a linking relationship with the printer, the work efficiency is poor and a separate paper feeding device is required. Therefore, there is a disadvantage that the area occupied by the device is increased and the usability is poor. It is an object of the present invention to provide a continuous paper processing device that eliminates such inconvenience.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a continuous sheet processing apparatus of the present invention has upper and lower feeding portions on one side, and the sheet fed from one feeding portion is left as it is. It has a discharge port for feeding in the same direction and a discharge port for discharging the sheet fed from the other feeding unit by changing the feeding direction to a right angle with a turn bar.

[0005]

The feeding section is located on the upper and lower sides of one side, and continuous paper can be fed in two directions at right angles to each other according to the feeding section. Therefore, the continuous paper fed from the same processing device can be fed in. By selecting a part, it is possible to supply to a desired device of the two devices.
