Abstract: Methods and apparatus of producing collectible cards are disclosed. An example method includes producing a first stack of cards including a first card type and a second card type from a single substrate sheet, separating the first stack of cards into a first sub-stack and a second sub-stack. The first sub-stack includes the first card type and the second sub-stack includes the second card type. The example method includes comparing a first top card of the first sub-stack to a first reference card and, based on the first top card being substantially similar to the first reference card, automatically transferring the first sub-stack to a first tray designated to receive the first card type.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for separating a stack of folded sheets by inserting a first, second, third and fourth count fingers into four successive openings in the stack, and separating the stack between the second and third count fingers. Where separation is carried out after a desired number of folded sheets have passed the third count finger, a completed pack having the desired number of sheets may be formed downstream from the third count finger. The count fingers may be operatively mounted in count finger cassettes.

Abstract: A device for separating groups of sheets may be used on an apparatus for forming and banding groups of sheets comprising at least one track to feed the individual sheets to a pick up roller for the individual sheets arriving and to transfer said sheets to a stacking channel, extending along a stacking axis, where the sheets are placed on top of one another in stacks which may be preset and banded, one after another. The device comprises a partial support element for the sheets transferred, which operates between the roller and the channel and is mobile, by means synchronized with the roller, between an operating separation position, in which the element is partially inside the dimensions of the roller, intercepting a portion of a first sheet in a stack to be formed, and a release position, in which the element is outside the dimensions of the roller and close to the mouth of the channel, partially supporting a corresponding presettable stack of sheets fed from the roller.

Abstract: A device for forming a stack of successively arranged printed sheets has a stack support with support elements and a conveying device supplying printed sheets, arranged in an imbricated arrangement, in a vertical direction to the stack support. The printed sheets formed stacks on the stack support in a stack forming direction and the support elements define a leading end and a trailing end of the stacks. A controllable insertion device correlated with the stack support moves end plates into an intermediate position between the support elements and the leading and trailing ends of the stack, respectively. The insertion device has an insertion member arrangement with passages allowing the support elements to pass through and has a drive for moving the insertion member arrangement perpendicularly to the stack support for inserting the end plates. The insertion device has at least one interstice for receiving end plates.

Abstract: A counter-ejector and feeder for receiving flexible boxes delivered at a prescribed infeed rate in end-to-end relation along a plane, and a counter-ejector machine, for stacking the boxes in discrete bundles for discharge. The machine includes a general framework mounting a shingling conveyor that provides a working flight leading from an infeed end to a discharge end. The shingling conveyor is positioned with an infeed end below the delivery plane and leads angularly upwardly to a counter-ejector discharge. A driver operates the shingling conveyor to move the working flight at a selected speed less than the delivery rate of boxes to the shingling conveyor. The working flight of the shingling conveyor is inclined upwardly to a counter-ejector discharge end where shingled boxes are fed to a counter-ejector. Successive stacks of boxes are formed by the counter-ejector which includes structure for stacking and maintaining the boxes in a compressed condition. Boxes delivered from the infeed plane are deposited onto the shingling conveyor in a shingled, overlapping configuration, transported at said selected speed to the counter-ejector where counted numbers of the boxes are stacked and discharged.

Abstract: An envelope flap up pick and place apparatus and method uses a conventional envelope delivery spider which has been adapted to deliver envelopes to an accumulating surface, such as a belt conveyor, in a position with the folded envelope seal flaps facing upward. A rotary guide is positioned with radially extending guide members extending just above the conveyor belt to guide envelopes onto the conveyor in an upright orientation. The conveyor moves the envelopes toward a series of three separately movable, vertically oriented finger supports. The three supports are cooperatively driven to accumulate and compress horizontal stacks of predetermined numbers of envelopes which are then positioned beneath a gripper assembly with a pair of opposed gripper arms. The gripper assembly is lowered into a position in which the gripper arms are inserted on either side of the envelope stack, pulled together and pivoted inward at the bottoms to squeeze the stack from the bottom edges. The assembly is then lifted to pick up the stack from the conveyor.
