Apparatus for delivering business forms and the like selectably in a "face up" or "face down" position, which incorporates a set of creels and a delivery conveyor that can be selectably positioned for receiving individual forms from a separator conveyor and then shingling the forms in either a "face up" or "face down" position. The creels and one end of the delivery conveyor are mounted on rotatable plates which permit either the creels or the one end of the delivery conveyor to be positioned adjacent the separator conveyor.
A printing press (10) having a delivery fly (12) having a plurality of laterally adjustable arcuate fingers (32) mounted on a shaft (34) and defining a plurality of pockets (33) extending peripherally around the fly (12) to receive a printed article (A) in the pockets (33). The press (10) has a device (42) for rotating the shaft (24), and a belt (18) for moving the articles (A) to a position (14) adjacent the pockets (33) of the fly (12) for depositing the articles (A) in the pockets (33), and a belt (26) for receiving the articles (A) from the pockets (33) of the fly (12), and for transporting the articles (A) away from the fly (12). The press (10) has a hinge (58) for moving the fly (12) to a position away from the belt (18) to provide access to the pockets (33).
A folder apparatus is disclosed which is adapted for use with at least two adjacently arriving webs and having at least one fan wheel. The fan wheel is provided with a number of compartments delimited by guide disks to ensure, that in the case of different processing of the two or more webs, that all of the compartments therefor are used. The fan wheel of the folding apparatus is divided up into a number of laterally adjoining fan wheel sections, which number corresponds to the number of webs to be handled and able to be driven separately from each other by associated drive means.
The disclosure relates to an attachment for a scanner apparatus which electrically scans the markings on the upper face of test score sheets. The attachment stacks score sheets in either a main hopper or a reject hopper with the sheets being stacked in either hopper in the sequence in which the sheets were scanned. Thus, the first sheet after having its upper face scanned is inverted and placed on the bottom of a hopper with the face surface directed downwardly. Each subsequent test score sheet is inverted and placed on the prior score sheet. When removed from either hopper, a stack of sheets can be inverted as an entirety, thereby establishing the faces of the score sheets in their original order. The stack can then be conveniently run back through the scanner or other apparatus. Shunt gates provide the two functions of inverting the sheets and selectively directing them into one of the two hoppers in their original order without the need to reverse the direction of movement of the sheets and without the need of placing one of the hoppers above the other.
