A device for handling continuous-sheet fanfold paper comprising:
- a base including an upper and lower section defining a supporting surface having a top, bottom and opposite sides,
- stack support means projecting upwardly from said base adjacent said bottom,
- a fixedly mounted fence projecting upwardly from said base intermediate said upper and lower sections,
- a stack of continuous sheets of fanfold paper having transverse tearlines between adjacent pairs of sheets,
- a plurality of said sheets defining a lower stack overlying said lower section supporting surface and supported upon said stack support means,
- said fence spaced from said stack support means a distance selected to closely accommodate said lower stack therebetween with said tearlines at the upper portion thereof juxtaposed said fence,
- and stabilizing means on said base adapted to engage the lateral portions of sheets of paper overlying said base,
- whereby, pairs of said sheets in said lower stack may be folded upwardly to a position overlying said upper section supporting surface above said fence with the thus displaced sheets defining an upper stack having said tearlines at the lower portion thereof engaging and supported by said fence while said tearline joining the top sheets of said lower and upper stacks overlies said fence.
