  • Device for collating sheets of paper
    Patent number: 6189880
    Abstract: A device for collating sheets of paper into a stack includes an elongated chute and at least one feeder. The chute has a transverse shape approximating the size of the sheets of paper to be fed into the chute. Each feeder feeds a sheet of paper into the chute so that the plane of the paper extends generally transverse to a vertical axis of the chute. The sheets of paper thus fed into the chute may then float downwardly on a cushion of air coming to rest in a bottom area of the chute.
