DEFINITION

Classification: 271/280

For separating sheet from moving assemblage of sheets:

(under subclass 279) Apparatus wherein the sheets to be delivered comprise a set of two or more sheets that are being conveyed toward two or more receivers, the apparatus being provided with means for disassociating one of said sheets from one or more other sheets and for concurrently delivering said one sheet to one receiver and the one or more other sheets to one or more other receivers.

(1) Note. This subclass and the indented subclasses are for a device wherein a "master" or "original" sheet has been superimposed onto a "copy" sheet and the so-formed set passed through a photocopying machine. After processing, the moving assemblage or set of superimposed sheets is separated, the "master" being delivered to one location and the "copy" being delivered to another location. The characteristics of this operation that distinguish it from feeding separators of this class, subclass 8 are that in this and the indented subclasses (a) the set is moving in a direction parallel to the surfaces of the sheets and (b) two receivers are provided for the two parts of the set.
