Apparatus For Stacking Documents In Sequence

US Patent:
4065123, Dec 27, 1977
Filed:
Dec 2, 1976
Appl. No.:
5/746760
Inventors:
Fred Victor Arrasmith - San Jose CA
Donald George Bruns - Saratoga CA
John Stuart Moffitt - San Jose CA
Stanton Kline Moss - Gilroy CA
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
B65H 3106
US Classification:
271215
Abstract:
Documents are stacked on edge on a bed assembly having a backplate assembly near one end and a slidable backstop assembly aranged to be incremented away from the backplate assembly as the documents fill the stacking space therebetween. The backstop assembly is fixed to and alternately freed from the bed assembly by an escapement assembly coupled therebetween and actuated electrically. Preferably the escapement assembly comprises a pawl and ratchet together with cogged or spurred belts guiding the backstop assembly along the bed assembly. A photoresponsive, or like, assembly is arranged to sense the entrance of documents into the stacking space, and electric reed switches and corresponding actuating magnets are assembled on the backstop and bed assemblies for predetermining an initial increment of stacking space. Electric control circuitry is connected to the photoresponsive assembly and the reed switches and to the escapement assembly for actuating the latter in successive steps as the documents fill the stacking space. Preferably, the electric control circuitry is arranged to count pulses representative of individual documents encountered in the interval in which the initial increment of stacking space is filled.

Burster Apparatus

US Patent:
4025023, May 24, 1977
Filed:
Oct 31, 1975
Appl. No.:
5/627713
Inventors:
John Stuart Moffitt - San Jose CA
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
B26F 302
US Classification:
225100
Abstract:
A burster mechanism for separating continuous form webs into sheets along transverse pre-weakened lines comprising two sets of feeding means spaced along a curved web path so that one set of rolls is at an angle to the other. A curved guide member which extends between the two feeding means defines the outer curvature of the web path. The second feeding means is operable at a faster rate than the first feeding means and is actuated at a predetermined time to draw the web taut between the feeding means and separate the sheet from the web.
