  • Patent number: 5117985
    Abstract: A stacking receiver is disclosed for collecting and edgewise stacking of a succession of folded sheets exiting a slot on the folding machine, the receiver including an angled wire frame member pivotally mounted to be able to be swung to an up position in which the apex of a corner formed on each of a pair of legs is aligned opposite the slot. The member is spring urged to the up position, and is gradually lowered as successive sheets are fed beneath each other and accumulate in a stack, forced against a confinement section extending up from the corner apex, the sheets in the stack resting on a holder section extending horizontally as the member assumes a full down position. A second member provides an ascending ramp allowing the sheets to descend from the slot onto the holder section.
