Abstract: A right-angle sheet stager apparatus (10) for merging multiple input sheet streams into a single output sheet stream includes one or more input channels and an output channel. Each input channel includes a transport surface and a staging surface (24A, 24B). Each transport surface communicates with its corresponding staging surface (24A, 24B) at a transitional member interposed between the transport surface (22A) and the staging surface (24A, 24B). Each transitional member includes an upper surface disposed at an elevation greater than an elevation of the corresponding staging surface (24A, 24B). The output channel (30) includes an output surface (32), and is oriented in a right-angle relation with respect channels and communicates with the input channels at a merger location. The stager apparatus (10) permits a sheet from the transport surface (22A) to enter the staging surface and overlap with a preceding sheet already present on that staging surface, prior to the preceding sheet's complete exit from the staging surface.

Abstract translation: 用于将多个输入纸张流合并成单个输出纸张流的直角纸张收纳装置（10）包括一个或多个输入通道和输出通道。 每个输入通道包括输送表面和分段表面（24A，24B）。 每个输送表面在介于输送表面（22A）和分级表面（24A，24B）之间的过渡部件处与其相应的分级表面（24A，24B）连通。 每个过渡构件包括设置在比相应的分级表面（24A，24B）的高度大的高度的上表面。 输出通道（30）包括输出表面（32），并且与通道的直角关系定向并在合并位置与输入通道通信。 刻痕装置（10）允许来自输送表面（22A）的片材在前一片材完全从分级表面离开之前进入分级表面并与已经存在于该分段表面上的前一片材重叠。
