Abstract: APPARATUS FOR SEQUENTIALLY EFFECTING REGISTERED JOINDER OF SHEETS OF MATERIAL. SHEET TRANSPORTING MEANS FOR SEQUENTIALLY MOVING SHEETS TO A JOINING STATION, REGISTRY MEANS FOR RAISING THE TRAILING END OF A LEADING SHEET AND ENGAGING THE LEADING END OF A TRAILING SHEET. FIRST SHEET CLAMPING MEANS DISPOSED REARWARDLY OF THE REGISTRY MEANS AND SECOND SHEET CLAMPING MEANS DISPOSED FORWARDLY OF THE REGISTRY MEANS. JOINING MEANS FOR ESTABLISHING THE JOINT WHILE THE SHEETS ARE CLAMPED IN REGISTERED POSITION AND CONTROL MEANS FOR COORDINATING OPERATION OF THE CLAMPING MEANS AND THE JOINING MEANS. THE REGISTRY MEANS HAS A VERTICALLY RECIPROCATING REGISTRY BAR PROVIDED WITH SHEET ENGAGING FACES. OPERATING MEANS CONNECTING THE CLAMPING MEANS WITH THE REGISTRY BAR TO ESTABLISH MOVEMENT OF THE REGISTRY BAR RESPONSIVE TO MOVEMENT OF THE CLAMPING MEANS. A METHOD OF EFFECTING REGISTERED JOINDER OF SHEETS OF MATERIAL. AUTOMATICALLY FEEDING A SHEET FORWARDLY INTO CONTACT WITH REGISTRY MEANS. SIMULTANEOUSLY RAISING THE TRAILING END OF A FORWARDLY DISPOSED SHEET AT THE REGISTRY MEANS. CLAMPING THE SHEETS IN REGISTERED POSITION AND SECURING FASTENING MEANS TO THE CLAMPED SHEETS. UNCLAMPING THE JOINED SHEETS AND MOVING THEM FORWARDLY TO A POSITION IN WHICH THE TRAILING SHEET BECOMES THE LEADING SHEET FOR THE NEXT CYCLE OF OPERATION.
