  • the rollers 39, 39', 39 are arranged in two closely spaced groups, with the transfer roller 50 occupying the space between these groups.
  • One group 39, 39', which normally supports the binders B in magazine 25, extends over a length somewhat greater than the length of the binders B, and each roller has a length somewhat greater than the width of the binders B.
  • the other group, 39", upon which the binder stack rests in the foremost position of slide 38, contains one roller less, as the suction cylinder or transfer roller 50 whose top is normally aligned with the tops of rollers 39, 39', 39" in its pick-up position also acts as a support roller.
  • the innermost support roller 39' of the first mentioned group, nearest to roller 50, is made with a fluted periphery and has longitudinally spaced annular grooves into which extend the points of fingers 60, Fig. 4, pivoted on eccentric trunnions 61 of a shaft 62 and guided by links 63 swinging on a shaft 64.

  • the shafts of rollers 39, 39,', and 39 carry gears 67 meshing with a stationary rack 68 supported by brackets 69 attached to base 26 to rotate the rollers during the reciprocation of slide 42 and thus smooth the lowermost! binders in magazine 25.

  • the rack 72 remains stationary during the motion of slide 38, thereby causing the roller 50 to revolve in unison with the rollers 39, 39', 89, and, upon the return of roller 50 to its starting position, is reciprocated by a gear segment 74 fulcrumed in a lug 75 of base 26 and connected by a link 76 with a cam lever 77 fulcrumed on shaft 29 and actuated by a cam 78 on shaft 28 (Fig. 2).
  • the bearing bracket 47 carries a pedestal 79 in which is mounted a roller 80 resting on rack 68 thereby keeping the top of roller 50 in align ment with the tops of rollers 39, 39', and 39".
  • the rack 68 has a circular depression 81, Fig. 5, into which the roller 80 drops and thus causes the shaft 46 with roller 50 to swing downwards about shaft 41 unless a cam slide 82 moving on pins 83 in rack 68 is in position to support roller 80 and thus to prevent it from entering said depression.
  • the cam slide 82 for this purpose is equipped with a pin 84 adapted to engage with either of two pins 85, 85', carried by rack 72, the forward stroke of rack 72 moving the slide 82 away from depression 81, and the back stroke moving it into registration therewith.
