DEFINITION

Classification: 271/272

(under subclass 264) Device wherein the sheet-moving means comprises two elements, each of which elements has an endless, orbitally-moving surface, the surface of one element being opposite to and spaced from the surface of the other element during at least a portion of their movement and the surfaces moving in the same direction and engaging opposite surfaces of a sheet lying therebetween during said portion of movement.

(1) Note. The element may be an endless belt cooperating

with another endless belt, a rotating roller cooperating with another rotating roller or an endless belt cooperating with one or more rotating rollers; the criterion for placement herein being only that the conveyed sheet lies between the elements which thereby cooperate to move the sheet.
