A document shredder comprises a pair of cutter assemblies, each having a shaft on which there are cutter disks with interspersed spacers. The disks overlap to form a nip. On the one shaft, additionally, there are rings mounted in the spacers, and that permits the shaft to be axially compressed tighter than the shaft without rings. This provides for relative flexibility and axial movement between the shafts such that foreign objects can more easily be removed. A 20 inch cutter assembly driven by ...

A document processor comprises a memory for storing document information, a first information delimit member for delimiting the document information sequences stored in the memory into blocks, second document delimit member for dividing the document information sequences in the blocks into sort units, a sorter for sorting the document information sequences by the sort units, a sort order memory for storing a sort order of the sorter, and an arranger for rearranging the document information seque...

A organizer for a large number of documents comprises a rigid backing member, a front cover and a back cover, both pivotally mounted to the backing member. The backing member is sufficiently wide to receive a plurality of removable parallel conventional ring binder assemblies and accordingly includes a plurality of mechanisms to receive the binder assemblies. The ring binder assemblies comprise a rigid spine, a plurality of rings and a mechanism to open and close the rings to receive perforated ...

A cantilevered document-processing station is disposed over a document transport table. A document of any width is selectively transported under the cantilevered station for processing information with respect to the document. Canted drive rollers in the document-processing station move the document through the station and against a guide rail. A plurality of resilient document-holding fingers in the station have a dark color and a slit for improving the detecting resolution of the processing st...

A document carrier envelope for processing checks through automatic magnetic character recognition sorting equipment. The document carrier includes generally rectangular back and front sheets of approximately the same size. The front sheet is formed of relatively translucent material so that a check carried by the document carrier can be read, photographed or microfilmed and the front sheet is adhesively secured to the back sheet along one of the shorter side edges and along a line spaced from o...

A document handler for character recognition systems. The document handler comprises an input bin for insertion of documents, transport means for carrying the documents and an output bin for the reception of documents from the transport means. Means for sensing a document are provided adjacent the transport means for determining the location of the document on the transport means. The character recognition system includes means for reading the document at a predetermined location relative to the...

A document conveyor assembly for moving a document past a work station. The assembly includes a drum for releasably supporting the leading edge of the document, drive means to rotate the drum so that at least a portion of the document is moved past the exposure slit and supplemental conveyor belts to continue the movement of the document past the exposure slit even though the conveyor drum is stopped. Programming means are also employed to cause a predetermined number of passages of the document...

A method of, and system for, creating a document on a real time basis and providing a view of adjoining portions of the document. A data object is specified for creating a window on a display screen and data is input into the window. When the window has been filled with data, input of additional data will result in scrolling of the data, and the data will become larger than the window. Upon completion of the data object, the input data is stored, but a windows' worth of data continues to be disp...

An attachment for converting a moving platen copier into a fixed platen copier, wherein at least part of the moving platen is replaced by a housing (26) having a window scanned by a scanner unit (30) from which strip images, reflected from a document to be copied and which is located against the window, and relayed by reflector means (38, 40), a lens (44) and reflecting device (46) onto the photosensitive surface (22). The scanning unit and reflector means are connected to the drive from the ori...

A document holder for an assembly of loose leaf sheets, such as computer printouts, including a channel member provided with a slot defining a track for slidably and separably receiving at least one binder element secured to the sheet assembly, wherein the binder element is detachably snapfitted to the sheet assembly through aligned apertures formed in corresponding perforated margin portions of the sheets.
