Abstract
A continuous fan folded paper stacker that is easily adjustable to stack various sizes of forms comprising a base, guide arm and receiving platform. The guide arm acts in conjunction with the platform to allow stacking of various sized forms. The Z-shaped guide arm may be vertically adjusted with respect to the base and may be inverted to accommodate smaller than standard sized paper. The L-shaped platform works in conjunction with the guide arm by sliding horizontally with respect to the base to neatly stack different sizes of paper.
Claims18
A device for stacking fanfold paper, said device comprising:
- a base formed to receive fanfold paper, said base having a first corner and an opposing, second corner, said first and said second corners spaced apart by a distance sufficient to accommodate said fanfold paper;
- and
- a reversible arm carried by said base and having a slit formed therethrough into which said unfolded fanfold paper is funneled, said arm capturing and redirecting said unfolded fanfold paper through said slit and toward said first and second corners.
A device for stacking fanfold continuous paper, said device comprising:
- a base having a first corner;
- a receiving platform having a second corner, said first and second corners spaced apart by a distance, said receiving platform slidably secured to said base so that said distance can be adjusted to accommodate different sizes of fanfold paper;
- and
- a reversible arm carried by said based and having a slit formed therethrough into which said unfolded fanfold paper is funneled, said arm capturing and redirecting said unfolded fanfold paper through said slit and toward said first and second corners.
A device for stacking fan folded continuous paper, said apparatus comprising:
- a base having a first corner and a second corner;
- a receiving platform slidably engaging said base for receiving said paper in a stack;
- and
- a reversible Z-shaped arm carried by said base and in spaced relation to said base for funneling said paper wherein said arm captures said paper and redirects each page of said paper alternately, toward said first corner and said second corner of said base so that every other page of said paper is aligned.
