Abstract: A paper currency sorting and counting apparatus comprises a first separating unit adapted for separating damaged notes and sound notes supplied through a judgement unit designed to judge the authenticity as well as damaged the state of supplied banknotes of various nominal values, a stacker for stacking reject notes, a second separating unit for sensing the front and reverse sides of the normal notes and controlling the route of these normal banknotes, and a stacker for normal notes having a pair of vane wheels for stacking the normal banknotes in order to provide for automatic sorting of the supplied banknotes.

Abstract: Apparatus for receiving folded boxes from a machine such as a folder-gluer and stacking said folded boxes in one stack but with portions of the stack in alternately disposed directions to avoid an unbalance in overall thickness of said stack, said apparatus including two box receiving stations located in vertically spaced planes, a shiftable conveyor for selectively moving folded boxes to each of said receiving stations and means for turning over a stack of folded boxes deposited in a first station and then depositing same in a second station on top of other folded boxes already deposited in a second station.

Abstract: An apparatus for inverting a sheet member comprising a pair of spaced conveyors cooperatively defining a conveyor passage along which a sheet member can be advanced, and a rotatable arm assembly mounted between the conveyors and including upper and lower arms defining an opening therebetween, adapted for receiving the sheet member from the upstream conveyor and conveying the sheet member to the downstream conveyor. The arms continue rotating back to the initial position after depositing the sheet on the downstream conveyor. The arms are driven at a non-uniform speed and accelerate from the initial position to an upright position and then decelerate from the upright position to the position adjacent the downstream conveyor.
