  • Offset sheet stacking apparatus
    Patent number: 4188025
    Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for offset stacking two or more sets of sheets produced by a copier or the like. The apparatus includes two rotatable sheet-engagable rollers which form a sheet propelling nip. At least one of the rollers is selectively movable between two positions, so that in the first position the nip imparts a first velocity profile to sheets of the first set to move them seriatim to a first stacking position and in the second position the nip imparts a different velocity profile to sheets of the second set to move them seriatim to a second stacking position offset from the first stacking position.
