Abstract
An apparatus for in-line, high-speed stacking of paper signatures which includes two or more horizontally disposed batch forks having integral, pivoting fingers which project upstream towards an incoming flow of shingles being continuously conveyed from a sheeter. The batch forks are supported on a paper batching carriage, and can be raised and lowered from a pivot point, and retracted to transfer a partial stack of shingles to intermediate interrupt forks or to main pile forks for transfer to a conveyor. These additional paper handling forks cooperate with the batch forks and integral, pivoting fingers to continuously stack the shingled sheets in quantities determined by a counting and control system. The pivoting fingers depress the incoming signatures to separate them into stacks without slowing flow from a present rate of about 1200-1300 f.p.m. and higher.
