DEFINITION

Classification: 271/190

(under subclass 189) Device wherein the transfer mechanism includes one or more platforms extending across and moving along with the direction of movement of the succession of sheets, while supporting said sheets the plat-form(s) being mounted for such movement in a closed-loop orbit and being spaced one trailing end from a succeeding leading end to permit successive sheets to pass through the space between said ends.

(1) Note. In using this device, each successive sheet is placed by its conveyor on one of successively-appearing platforms, each platform carrying its sheet to a position over the receiver. The sheet is then stopped by means auxiliary to or integral with the platform while the platform continues to move from under the sheet, thus permitting the sheet to pass into the gap between platforms and be deposited onto the receiver.
