  • Patent number: 4923188
    Abstract: A Z-fold computer paper sheets unfolding/refolding carrier includes a horizontal base, a forward portion of which underlies a computer or printer housing. A supply of folded computer paper sheets is held by a first lower trough between upstanding rod stock open frame members adjacent the carrier base. A second upper trough is connected across the frame members about and forwardly of the first trough so that the second trough will overlie the rear of the computer or printer housing and be positioned to refold printed-on paper sheets exiting from the printer or computer housing. A guide ramps clips on the extends from a front top edge of the upper trough and is pivotable into a position to bridge the gap between the printer paper exit and the upper trough so as to guide the exiting paper to be refolded automatically in the upper trough. All parts other than the ramp are preferably constructed of rod stock.
