Abstract: A ream collection lift table and asssociated transfer conveyor system are contained in a unitary assembly which is mounted beneath a sheet discharge end of a sheeting machine. The lift table portion utilizes a scissors-elevating structure for reciprocating a sheet collection surface. The elevating structure includes criss-crossed, collapsible scissors arms, each provided with shaped profile surfaces for engagement with a laterally movable roller driven at constant speed, whereby the collection surface descends at varying rates. At a lowermost position, the collection surface deposits a collected ream onto a laterally directed belt conveyor, positioned intermediately of the integral assembly. The belt conveyor deposits the collected ream onto the receiving surface of an orthogonally directed slat conveyor for transferring the ream to a cartoning station off to one side of the sheeting machine.
