In a mailpiece stacking system, a pressure pad is used to direct incoming mailpieces from a mailing machine used with the system onto a feed deck, where the mailpieces are stacked against a stacking wall in the system. To properly handle mailpieces including window envelopes, the length of the pressure pad is selected in accordance with the invention such that it effectively deflects each mailpiece to land beyond the window part of any window envelope preceding thereto on the feed deck. Advantageously, the risk of having the mailpiece getting caught by an edge of the window part, resulting in a congestion, is avoided. In addition, among other things, a catch nub is included in the pressure pad for hooking onto a stub shaft mounted on the frame of the system. The nub hooks onto the stub shaft when the pressure pad is raised to allow it to stay in the raised position. Moreover, to effectively attach the stacking system to the mailing machine, the stacking system provides thereunder a hook having a C-shaped opening. The hook is used to be slidably engaged with a support knob underneath the mailing machine through the opening. The resulting engagement aligns the mailing machine with the stacking system to allow proper feeding of the mailpieces from the mailing machine to the stacking system, notwithstanding the vibrations occasioned by the operation of the mailing machine and the stacking system.

A sheet handling device has a sheet-aligning rotary member with an ejection device for ejecting sheets into a sheet stacking device, a sheet end stopper for holding the end of the sheet stacked in the sheet stacking device; and at least one rotary member for aligning the sheets ejected in the sheet stacking device with the sheet end stopper. The rotary member has an arc-shape outer peripheral surface around a portion of a circumference of said at least one rotary member.

In a method for transporting sheets of paper the individual sheets are conveyed successively in a conveying direction to a stop unit and at least one sheet is held at the stop unit to form a set at the stop unit. The stop unit is activated for conveying the set formed at the stop unit when a sheet of a next set to be formed at the stop unit overlaps the set formed at the stop unit. The device for performing the method has a collector with transport elements for transporting sheets along a transport path and a stop unit positioned in the transport path and operated intermittently for forming sets of sheets and further transporting the sets formed thereat. A control device is connected to the stop unit. The collector further has a first sensor device connected to the control device which sends an activation signal to the stop unit when a sheet of a next set to be formed overlaps a set already formed at the stop unit.

An arrangement to hold a top sheet of a stack of sheets that are ejected by an office machine and deposited on the stack is disclosed. The arrangement comprises a holding element and a lifting device adapted to vertically move the holding element. A tension spring is adapted to be tensioned when the holding element is placed on the stack, thereby generating a placement force. The lifting device may comprise an upper part where the holding element is arranged and a lower part. The lower part is vertically driven, and the upper part and the lower part being connected by the tension spring. The holding element may be a holding flap that is pivotally positioned at the lifting device and is adapted to pivot between a swung out position that projects over a stack of sheets and a swung in position into the lifting device. A joint drive may effect the lifting movement of the lifting device and the swinging movement of the holding flap, the holding flap being driven by a sliding clutch.

A device for collecting and aligning a stack of sheets of a recording medium is described, in which the particular uppermost sheet of the stack is pulled by a driven carrier finger toward an alignment stop. In order to hold the uppermost sheet of the stack when the next sheet is guided onto the stack, pressure rollers are provided which, during the feeding of the succeeding sheet onto the stack, can be lowered and for a further conveying of the stack can be pivoted off the latter.

A sheet member discharge mechanism comprising an upper discharge roller and a lower discharge roller for conveying a sheet member in a predetermined direction while nipping it therebetween. A push-down member is disposed downstream of the nipping portion between the upper discharge roller and the lower discharge roller as viewed in a direction of conveying the sheet member, the push-down member being allowed to move between an ascended position and a descended position and is urged to the descended position. The push-down member is moved to the ascended position by the sheet member acting upon the push-down member while the sheet member is being conveyed by the upper discharge roller and the lower discharge roller that work in cooperation. The push-down member moves to the descended position to push down the trailing edge of the sheet member after the trailing edge of the sheet member has passed the nipping portion between the upper discharge roller and the lower discharge roller.

A device is provided for holding one or more stacks of sheets, especially stacks of sheets that are stored offset to each other, for example by offset collating, that are output to an output station by a sheet processing device. According to an aspect of the invention, the device consists of a portable container that can be placed at the output station of the sheet processing device, which has a horizontally aligned stacking floor, two upright side walls that are opposite each other and an upright impact wall that is arranged downstream of the sheet output device for the stack of sheets.

A substrate sensing mechanism is provided for use in a printer output bin. The sensing mechanism includes a flag having a shape such that when one or more substrates, which have been removed from the bin, are manually reinserted into the bin, the one or more substrates are directed beneath the flag without causing a substrate feed failure. The flag is also positioned and shaped so as to move to a full bin position when a portion of one or more curled substrates extends to or above a level of the substrate output path immediately adjacent the bin entrance.

A sheet post-processing apparatus having a post-processing tray arranged upright, a post-processing device such as stapler etc., an offset tray to which post-processed sheets are discharged, includes: the third and forth discharge rollers for introducing the sheet into the post-processing tray from its bottom and discharging the sheet after post-processing to the offset tray; a sheet guide arranged opposing the post-processing tray, a pusher mechanism and paddlers, for aligning the sheets to be stacked so as to be substantially upright and pressing the sheet by particular portions when the sheet is introduced into the post-processing.

A sheet treating apparatus includes a stacking tray, a delivery rotary member, an endless belt member, and a traction device. The stacking tray has a stacking surface for receiving and stacking sheets thereon and a stopper portion for regulating the end portions of the sheets. The delivery rotary member delivers the sheets to the stacking tray. The endless belt member contacts with and acts on the upper surface of the sheets on the stacking tray, and feeds the delivered sheet so as to pull the end portion thereof into the stopper portion. The traction device pulls a portion of the endless belt member in a predetermined direction. During sheet feeding caused by the endless belt member, the traction device is operated in conformity with the height of the sheets stacked on the stacking tray to thereby control the contact pressure of the endless belt member against the sheets stacked on the stacking tray so as to become substantially constant. The stacking tray is inclined so that the downstream side thereof in the delivery direction of the sheet may become higher. The delivered sheet is switched back to return with the direction thereof changed over, and the stopper portion is provided on the downstream side in the direction of return of the sheet. The endless belt member is supported with a portion of its inner peripheral surface twined around the delivery rotary member and is rotated with the delivery rotary member.
