Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to collators of the type which accept sheets from a printer, processing machine, feeder, or by hand, one sheet at a time or as signatures, in multiples of the desired book or other document, and sort the sheets into multiple copies of the document in individual cubicles or receiver trays ready for binding or other handling.
  • the shaft 159 may be mounted for rotation by the side plates 27 and is provided at one end thereof with a crank arm 162 which is biased in the clockwise direction by a spring 163 so as to hold the fingers 158 out of the path of the passing sheet.
  • a solenoid actuator 164 is connected to the crank arm 162 by means of a second spring 166 so as to move the crank arm 162 in the counter clockwise direction to lower the fingers 158 upon energization of the solenoid.
  • the relay R11 is energized by the energization of the photo cell 133 by means of the light beam from the light source 132 and hence the normally closed contact R11-2 is opened so that the relay R-12 is not energized.
  • the normally opened contact R-11-3 is now closed. Since the relay R-15 has been deenergized, the contacts R-15-3 are open and the relay R-42 is deenergized and hence the contacts R422 are open so as to deenergize the proof solenoid 164.
