Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the operation by differentiating the positions of the paper contained in every one bin and the paper contained in other bins. CONSTITUTION:A paper receiving chip 18 is provided at the base section of every one bin 12'. When containing the paper in respective bin 12, the front edge 21b of the paper is not straightened to enable simultaneous take-out of papers contained in plural bins 12, thus to facilitate classification of paper contained in respective bin 12 resulting in simplification of operation.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sorter for aligning the pages of paper such as copy paper discharged from a copying machine.

BACKGROUND ART As shown in FIG.
There is a known sorter in which a plurality of sheets are provided, and the sorting member 3 is moved along the entrance 2a of each bin 2 to feed and fill the sheets (sheets are sequentially fed into the bins 2 and stored therein).

In such a sorter, since the terminal end 2b of each bin 2 is in a straight line, the sheets stored in each bin 2 are aligned at the same position, so the sheets stored in multiple bins 2 can be When the sheets are taken out at the same time, as shown in FIG. 2, the sheets stored in each bin 2 are 4114+11411...
. . , overlap each other and cannot be sorted, so it is necessary to visually check the pages of the sheets and sort them according to the sheets stored in each bin 2, which is a very troublesome operation.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the invention to enable sheets stored in a plurality of bins to be rubbed out at the same time by shifting the positions of the sheets stored in adjacent bins.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Each bin is provided with means for aligning the sheets stored in each bin with the sheets stored in other bins.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the sorter of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, and the sorter body 10 has a tiered structure with the upper and lower walls IQa, IQA, the left and right walls 41vHIOC,iod, and the front and rear walls log, +Of, and the right wall 10d has additional paper. An exit opening 11 is formed, and a plurality of bins 12 are provided in parallel at intervals in the vertical direction, and a paper transport mechanism 13 is provided on the entrance +2a side of each bin 120. Paper transport mechanism 1
A sorting member 14 is provided movably along the rear wall 10f, and a paper transport mechanism 16 is provided between the paper transport mechanism 13 and an entrance 15 formed at the upper part of the rear wall 10f. The picked paper is conveyed by the paper conveyance mechanism 16.
2 are stored sequentially.

The bins 12 are mounted on the sorter frame 1 as shown in FIG.
Each bin 12' is provided with a paper receiving piece 18.

That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the sorter frame 17 is provided with a plurality of left and right holes 19, 19 spaced apart downwardly, and the base end of each bin 12 is provided with a pair of left and right holes 19.19. Additional pieces 20 and 20 are integrally formed and can be added by fitting them into the mounting holes 19, and a cut-out portion is formed at the base end of each bottle +2'. Then, the paper receiving piece 18 is placed.

When the paper is stored in each bin 12, the trailing edge 21ff of the paper 2I is placed on the sorter frame 17, as shown in FIG.
and the paper receiving piece 18, and the front edges 21b become uneven. Therefore, if the sheets stored in a plurality of trays 12 are taken out from the opening 11 at the same time, each tray 12 will come into contact with the sheet as shown in FIG. Since the positions of the sheets 21 stored in each tray are shifted, it is possible to easily classify the sheets 21 stored in each tray 12.

8 and 9 show a second embodiment of the present invention, in which a vertical shaft 30 is rotatably supported on the side of the bottle 12, and first and second arms 31 are attached to the vertical shaft 30. .32 are fixed alternately at the same intervals as the bins 12, and the first arm 3
1, the second arm 32 is longer, and the first arm 32 is longer.
゜ Push pieces 33 and 34 are fixedly attached to the second arm 31 and 32, respectively, and the push piece 33 of the first arm 31 is attached to the bottle 1.
2 and opposite [7, the push piece 34 of the second arm 32 is opposite to the bottle 12'
A rod 37 is connected to the vertical shaft 30 via a lever 36, and a nondle 38 is provided on the rod 37, and this nondle 38 is attached to the right wall 10d of the sorter body 10. protrude outward.

When the handle 38 is pushed and the rod 37 is rotated in the direction of the arrow as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. The push piece 33 of the first arm 3I pushes the paper 21 stored in the bin 12 by the right wall 10d K St, and the push piece 34 of the second arm 32 pushes the paper 21 stored in the bin 12 one place below.
' Paper 21' stored in the right wall 10d K 5! (S
t>St).

As a result, the sheets 21 and 21' are not aligned, so that the sheets stored in the bins 12 and 12' can be easily separated when taken out at the same time.

Effects of the invention Paper 2I stored in each bin 12 and other bins 12
It is possible to change the position of the paper 21 stored in the bins, and to take out the paper stored in multiple bins at the same time by shifting the position of each paper stored in adjacent bins. This allows you to easily sort the sheets stored in each bin.
