Abstract

PURPOSE:To store sheets as many as possible in a tray and to prevent alowering of storing capacity for sheets thick in the folding portion such as Z-folded by detecting when sheets in a storing tray reaches the regular amount and retreating a size changing rod extending over plural stages. CONSTITUTION:As Z-folded sheets 2 are sorted in a storing tray 1, the sheets 2 stored in the tray 1 are stopped by a size changing rod 5 and sequentially stacked. When the sheets reach a certain amount, it is detected by a detector 6 to output a signal, so that the size changing rod 5 retreats from a position A to position B. With the retreatment, the sheets 2 in the tray 1 naturally drop to the position of the size changing rod 5. The sheets 2 to be suquentially stored are sequentially stacked on the trailing ends of the sheets 2 already stored, and when the sheets 2 stacked on the second stage reach a regular amount, the size changing rod 5 again retreats to a position C, so that the sheets 2 in the tray 1 naturally drop to the position of the size changing rod 5, and the sheets 2 are again stored in the tray 1. Thus, a lot of sheets can be stored without disorder.

Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings shown in FIG. On the entrance side of the storage tray 1, an index roll 3 and an idle roll 4 are provided which are moved up and down by a drive means (not shown) to distribute the sheets 2 to each storage tray 1. 5 is a size change line provided vertically in the middle of the storage tray I, and when the size of the sheets 2 to be collated is selected using a switch (not shown), the size change line is automatically changed from arrows (A) to ( b) In addition to moving in the direction shown in FIG. A plurality of the detectors 6 are installed for each storage tray 1, and are designed to detect the amount of sheets 2 stored in the storage tray 1, for example, photoelectrically. Based on the signal detected by the detector 6, the size change line 5 operates as follows.

When the size of the sheets 2 to be collated is selected, the size change line 5 is stopped at the position shown in FIG. 1'M, for example, according to the size. In this state, the Z-folded sheets 2 are successively collated into the storage tray 1, and the sheets 2 stored in the storage tray 1 are stopped at the size change line 5 and stacked one after another.

収容トレイ1内の用紙2がある量に達すると。When the paper 2 in the storage tray 1 reaches a certain amount.

これを検出器6が検出して信号を出力するため。This is because the detector 6 detects this and outputs a signal.

The resizing row 5 retreats from the position shown in FIG. 2(C) to the position shown in FIG. Thereafter, the sheets 2 to be stored are sequentially stacked on the rear ends of the sheets 2 already stored. When the paper 2 stacked in the second layer reaches the specified lid,
The size change line 5 moves back to the position shown in Figure 3 (e) again,
The paper 2 in the right circle of the storage tray also naturally falls to the position of the size change row 5, and the paper 2 is stored in the storage tray 1 again.

By operating as described above, more sheets 2 can be stored in the storage tray 1, and the size change row 5 can be moved to the lower end side (position E) of the storage tray 1 in advance. Unlike the case where sheets 2 are stored, there is no problem such as the next sheet 2 entering between sheets 20 already stored and disrupting the order.
