摘要： The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for providing a conveying path for advancing sheet articles between sheet processing apparatuses. Conventional apparatuses for providing conveying paths of varying lengths include a translatable extension table with a sliding belt/pulley arrangement. Such arrangements prevented complete abutment of the table with the downstream sheet processing apparatus and required manual adjustment of belt tension. The present invention overcomes these disadvantages through a novel extension apparatus. The extension apparatus (10) includes a base bracket (40) with a pair of rotatably movable spring-loaded bracket arms (44A, 44B) attached to a shaft (42) extending therethrough. A pair of bracket arms rollers (46A, 46B, 48A, 48B) are attached to each of the bracket arms. An extension plate (30) is positioned above and slidably movable on the base bracket, and a pair of rotatable extension rollers (20A, 20B) are rotatably attached to a shaft (22) extending through the extension plate such that slidable movement of the extension plate simultaneously and identically moves the extension rollers. A pair of rear rollers (R2, R4) are utilized and are operatively aligned with an extension roller and a pair of bracket arm rollers. A pair of belts extend at least partially around and operatively engage one of the rear rollers, one of the extension rollers, and a pair of the bracket arm rollers of one of the bracket arms. The belts have an upper reach section and a lower reach section between the rear rollers and the extension rollers, and the upper reach section of the belts from a conveying path for advancement of the sheet articles while the bracket arm rollers engage each belt in the lower reach section.

摘要： The invention is directed to a collector apparatus and method for collecting and advancing sheet articles in high speed media processing. A conventional collecting apparatus includes a collector plate with continuously running transport belts for advancing and collecting the sheets, movable stop brackets for stopping the sheets on the collector plate, and upper idler drop rollers for pressing the collected sheets against the belts to facilitate movement of the collected sheets. The conventional apparatus maintained continuous contact between the collected sheets and the continuously running sheets, leading to smearing of toner on the sheets and limited the sheet collecting capacity of the apparatus. The present invention overcomes these drawbacks by selectively inhibiting contact between the collected sheets and the transport mechanism. The collecting apparatus (10) includes a collector plate (12) having a sheet collection surface (14); movable stop brackets (20A, 20B) for temporarily stopping sheet advancement; upper idler stop rollers (52A, 52B) movable toward the collector plate; and a transport mechanism (B1, B2) movable through an opening in the collector plate to selectively advance the sheets.
摘要翻译：本发明涉及一种用于在高速介质处理中收集和推进片材制品的收集器装置和方法。传统的收集装置包括：具有用于推进和收集纸张的连续运行的传送带的收集板，用于阻止收集板上的纸张的可移动止动支架和用于将收集的纸张压靠在纸带上的上部惰轮下降辊，以便于移动收集的纸张。传统的设备保持收集的纸张和连续运行的纸张之间的连续接触，导致纸张上的调色剂被污染并且限制了该设备的纸张收集能力。本发明通过选择性地抑制收集的纸张与输送机构之间的接触来克服这些缺陷。收集装置（10）包括具有片材收集表面（14）的收集板（12）。用于临时停止片材前进的活动止动支架（20A，20B）能够朝向集电板移动的上部惰轮止动辊（52A，52B）以及可以通过集电板中的开口移动以选择性地推进纸张的输送机构（B1，B2）。

摘要： The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for collecting sheet articles, diverting or advancing the collected sheet articles and staging and further advancing the advanced sheet articles at a predetermined time. Conventional article processing apparatuses utilize solenoid divert gates, stop bracket/movable roller arrangements, lugged timing belt conveyors, and metal chain/push pin conveyors, which limited article processing speeds and increased machine complexity and wear. In accordance with the invention, a document collector, stager and diverter apparatus (10) and method are provided for processing sheet articles through first and second stages (20, 20') without utilizing the above devices. The first stage (20) receives sheet articles (SA) advanced thereto and collected therein and includes a first transport mechanism (22A, 22B) being operative for selectively diverting collected sheet articles in a divert direction opposite to the conveying direction of the sheet articles. Alternately, the first transport mechanism is operative for selectively advancing the collected sheet articles from the first stage to the second stage. In the second stage, sheet articles can be independently processed and held until a predetermined time when they can be advanced from the second stage by a second transport mechanism (22A', 22B'). The first and second transport mechanisms each preferably includes plastic chains each with plastic lugs (LA1-LB4') thereon. The chains of the first and second transport mechanisms are simultaneously rotatably movable by a motor (M, M') and gears (36A, 36B) or pulleys associated therewith.

摘要： An apparatus and method for computerized control of a "Phillipsburg-type" mail insertion machine. The mechanical timing and drive mechanisms of the prior art inserter are replaced with a programmable computer, solenoid valves, and pneumatic cylinders, or other suitable drivers. The computer's software includes a plurality of programmed look-up tables. An operational delay look-up table includes electro-mechanical lag times for the pneumatically driven stations/sub-assemblies of the inserter. Also provided are look-up speed tables, which include start and stop angles for actuation of each of the pneumatic cylinders. A first look-up speed table includes actuation data appropriate for operation of the machine within a relatively slow range of speeds. Four additional look-up speed tables provide correct actuation data for successively higher speed groups, up to 10,000 insertion cycles per hour. An alternative method of determining actuation data is disclosed, requiring ongoing and updated calculations of appropriate values based precisely upon the machine's actual operational speed.
