  • Patent number: 5044873
    Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for folding sheets and for slitting the folded sheets to form adjacent parallel rows or streams of folded sheets being conveyed by belts into a stacking station. A jogger located adjacent the conveyor belts may jog folded sheets laterally to indicate a predetermined count of sheets in a column. The folded sheets in each column are fed by the belts upward against stops. A generally horizontal support holds a container to receive parallel streams of on-edge vertical folded sheets each of which is pushed into the container while on-edge and vertical by a succeeding folded sheet. The container is removed having parallel rows of on-edge, vertically positioned, folded sheets stacked therein.

  • Patent number: 4616815
    Abstract: The in-line web printing press 15 will be discharging shingled sheets at a rate set the press operator and operator of the stacking and folding machine 10 will set its speed of operation to match that of the web printing press. To this end, it is preferred to have an electric counter device 260 (FIG. 1) connected to a photocell 262 with the photocell actually counting each sheet passing underneath it on the alignment conveyor 22. A digital counter 264 on the electric counter device displays the operating speed so that the operator can match the speed precisely to that of the in-line web printing press. An electric motor control 266 has an adjustable knob 268 which changes the speed of the motor 270 which has its motor drive shaft 126 (FIG. 10) driving the side joggers 30 and the rear joggers 26. A motor 272 (FIG. 1) drives the alignment conveyor 22 and its speed may be adjusted by the operator at motor control device 274 having a control adjustment knob 276.
