Abstract
A vertically adjustable infeed conveyor section for the conveyor system of a sheet sorting device. The sheet sorting device is of the type having side-by-side vertical columns of bins with distributor means for directing individual sheets or groups of sheets of paper in series to the individual bins. The infeed conveyor section receives sheets of paper or the like from a sheet feeder, a duplicator, or printing press and delivers them to the conveyor system of the sorter. The infeed conveyor section is adjustable vertically to adapt itself to any height of sheet feeder or duplicator. The in-feed conveyor section includes a horizontal initial section, an inclined transition section, and a delivery section having a vertical run to which the transition section extends. In a second preferred embodiment, the transition section extends directly to the upper terminous of the delivery section vertical run.
