- the vprincipal, object yof our invention ⁇ isy thelprovision or asimple'and effective deiie'ctor mechanism forv directing successive sheets into different courses as the Sheets are fed from a folding machine or other paper handling machine.
- AAnother object is the provision of means located in each of the courses taken "by the sheets, and adapted to be set in motion by the travel of the sheets themselves, for swinging or flipping the deflector, saidtwo means being preferably whereby thev actuationof one serves to set the other back into positionto be actuated.
- a further Aobject Vis the provision of means for shifting or nipping the defleotor before therear edge of the sheet haspassed the forwardedge of the deflector, whereby the de? iiector is in position to properly direct the next vsucceeding sheet no matter how closely they are' spaced, and in fact even though no spacey at lall intervenes. ⁇ y y
- a further object is the provision ofan electric means for shifting the deflector, such means being controlled by the travel of the sheets themselves.
- Figure 1 is a side elevational view of a fragf ment of a sheet'staclrer embodying the inf Vention, certain of the parts being broken interconnected away or Vshown in section in order to more' fullyV illustrate the invention.
- F ig. 2 is a wiring diagram illustrating el'ec ⁇ trlcal connections which may be employed in carrying out the invention.
- Fig; 3 1s a fragmental, more or less dlagrammatic, sectionall view taken in ,a vertical may be delivered onto a fixedguide plate 26."
- the latter plate is vmounted in or supported" ⁇ by thev frame 22 of our stacker mechanism.
- the 4stacker is preferably entirely separate from the folding ⁇ machine or other paper handling machine served thereby, thus permitting movement of the stacker out yof operative relationwith the folding machine or thelilre when the use of the stacker isnnot required.
- l/Vhen the stacker is put into operaf tive position, an idler gearl 231thereon is caused to mesh with a gear 1G fixed to the lower feed roll 14, and by this means driving power is transmitted to the stacker.
- a pair of feed rolls 29,' 30 so positioned as to receive sheets of paper from the guide plate 26. These rolls are intergeared to turn ⁇ inv opposite directions, and are driven from the idler gear 23 which meshes with thegear on roll29.y l
- the rolls 3,6 and 38 are preferably allmetal rolls of the same diameter throughout, while rolls 34 and 39 comprise rubber surfacedl wheels 35 and 410 respectively spaced along the length of each roll. These wheels bear upon the rolls 36 and 38, or at Vany rateV upon the paper sheets fedvthereover. These rolls are positively driven in any suitable manner in the directions indicated by the arrows in Fig. 8, being intergeared so that their surface speeds are the saine, or substantially so.f
- a movable deflector or flipper 43 OFFICE provided with trunnions 44 which are pivotally supported in the side members of the frame 22.
- Means are provided for ipping the defiector from one position to the other, this means preferably comprising swinging shoes 45, 46 of identical form, the free ends of which extend into proximity with the surfaces of rolls 36- and 38Y respectively, so thatthey are adapted to be engaged by sheets of paper passing over the surfaces of those rolls.
- the screw 54- may be locked in place by a knurled lock nut 55.
- the spring 53 holds the lever 50 yieldably up against the set screw 54 and permits the spindle 47 to rise somewhat should the shoe 45 encounter an unusual thickness of paper.
- the shoe 46 is inverted and attached to a .spindle 59 similar in every respect to the and an adjusting screw 65 carried by the bracket 63 in a manner exactly similar to that employed in connection with the lever 50.
- crank 66 On the outer end of the -spindle 59 there is a crank 66.
- the two cranks 58 and 66 are pivotally connected to a link 67 in which may be embodied means for varying somewhat the length of the link.
- the swinging of the deflector 43 from one position to the other is accomplished by electrical means.
- a block of insulation 80 upon which is carried a metal contact finger 81, to which is attached a flexible wire connection 82 leading from a current main 83.
- the linger 81 is adapted, when at. either extreme of its movement, to contact electrically with oneof the spring fingers 84 and 85.
- the finger 84 is connected by an electric conductor 86 with one end of the coil of an electro-magnet 87, while the linger 85 is connected by a conductor 88 with one end of the coil of a similar electro-magnet 89.
- the adjacent ends of the two coils are connected by a conductor 90.
- the particular means employed for collecting and stacking the sheets travelling in the two different courses may vary in practice, but we have illustrated herein one arrangement which is suitable for the purpose. It includes an upper endless conveyor 71 mounted at one end upon a roller 72, driveny at low speed by any suitable means.
- the arrangement referred to includes also a lower endless belt 74 extending transversely of the belt 71 and carried upon suitable rollers one of which, 75, is illustrated herein. This roller also is driven at low speed by suitable means, not shown.
- lVhen the deiiector 43 is in the position lllustrated in Fig. 1, sheets are fed from the rolls 29, 3()y over the deflector and through rolls 34, 36 onto the belt 71.
- Vhen the deiiector 43 is in the opposite position illustrated in Fig.
- sheets are fed from the rolls 29, 30 under the deflector 43 and through rolls 38, 39 onto the lower belt 74 in a direction transverse to the length of the belt, and means may be provided for stopping their movement in the latter direction, the means herein illustrated for that purpose comprising a fence 79 carried by one or more rods 80 mounted in the frame of the machine.
- The-swingingof shoe 45 to the right raises crank 58 and with it link 67, which in turn raises crank 66 on the lower spindle 59, thereby swinging shoe 46to the left, that is from the position illustrated in Fig. 3 to that illustrated in Fig. 1.
- the shoe 46 is thus placed in position to be actuated by the next sheet travelling that course.
- the linger 81 breaks Contact with finger naamwt 34 and makes contact with linger 85.
- magnet coil 87 is deenergized and coil 89 is energized, pulling armature 93 downward and operating thereby through pin and slot connection 95 to swing arm 94 downward and throw defiector 43 from the position of Figs. l and 2 to that of Fig. 8.
- Successive sheets delivered from the folding machine are thus directed in different courses onto the upper and lower belts 7l and 74 respectively.
- all of the pamphlets or signatures of one kind are caused to travel in one course onto the upper belt 7l and all of the other kind are caused to travel in the other course onto the lower belt 74.
- the belts 71 and 74 are of the slow moving type employed in staclrers and their functions and mode of operation are well known in the art. While we have shown one of them arranged transversely to the other, such an arrangement is not at all essential, as they may both run in the same direction if desired.

- a deflector for directingr sheets from said path into either of two different courses
