Abstract
A plurality of sheet-bundle piling lanes are disposed in perpendicular relation with respect to a common sheet-bundle feed lane for gradually feeding sheet-bundles. At a communicating portion between the sheet-bundle feed lane and each sheet-bundle piling lane, a sheet-bundle take-in lever for taking the sheet-bundles from the former lane to the latter lane, is disposed. Blocks of bundles of sheet that are piled up are formed at each sheet-bundle piling lane.
Claims14
A device for piling bundles of sheets, comprising:
- a first cutter for cutting a block of sheets, each sheet having a plurality of rows of printed surfaces thereon, into a plurality of unit strips of sheets, each unit strip having one row of the printed surfaces thereon;
- a second cutter for cutting each unit strip of sheets into a plurality of bundles of sheets, each sheet having one printed surface thereon;
- a banding device for banding each bundle of sheets with a band at a position offset from the lengthwise center of the bundle of sheets;
- a turntable comprising means for receiving banded bundles of sheets thereon and selectively rotating the banded bundles of sheets 180 degrees;
- a first pooling table for supporting a row of the banded bundles of sheets;
- a second pooling table for receiving a row of the banded bundles of sheets at one time from the first pooling table and forming a plurality of bundle blocks thereon, each bundle block comprising a plurality of the banded bundles of sheets piled one on top of another;
- means for supplying the row of banded bundles of sheets at one time from said first pooling table to said second pooling table;
- and
- means for discharging the bundle blocks comprising the banded bundles of sheets from said second pooling table.
