A printing device for duplex printing of a sheet, comprising a feed path for feeding an unprinted sheet and a return path for returning a sheet printed on one side in an inverted orientation to a part of the feed path which is provided with an aligning station for aligning a supplied unprinted sheet and a returned sheet printed on one side. The aligning station comprises two aligning mechanisms which are disposed in spaced relationship in the feed direction and which each comprise two activatable transport nips which, as considered in a direction transversely of the feed direction, are situated a short distance apart so that a sheet fed between the nips can be aligned against one of each of the two transport nips by lateral transport and turning.

An apparatus for delivering web material or the like from rolls comprises a rotatable holder that holds a plurality of web supply rolls and for each roll is provided with a separate support member for supporting the free end of a portion of the web unwound from the roll. The roll holder is movable between a plurality of positions in each of which one of the supply rolls is in an active position at a location where a portion of its web can be unwound and transported over a cutting edge provided on the related support member, and where a cutting element separate from the holder can be operated to cut off a sheet of required length from the unwound material of the positioned supply roll by cooperation with the related cutting edge.

Device for the assorted collection of sheets, comprising a transport track and bins situated along this track. The bins are provided with guide organs and each bin can be moved so that its guide organ protrudes into the track so as to guide a sheet into a bin. In the transport track the sheets are transported by means of belts running around a vacuum holddown device so as to hold the sheets onto the belts.

Sorting device

A collating apparatus is mounted above a copying machine and includes a housing frame enclosing a conveying mechanism for conveying sheets from the copy-ejection part of the copying machine along a vertical path alongside of which are positioned horizontal trays for receiving the copy sheets as collated. The trays have associated therewith guide elements which are balanced in equilibrium in a first position in which they project into the conveying path to guide sheets into their corresponding trays and which are activated by the receipt of a sheet in the tray to a second position in which they are moved out of the path. The guide elements are locked in this second position by pawl-like locking elements until all locking elements are released by an unlocking means activated by the copy machine start button. The trays, the guide elements and the locking and unlocking elements are supported in a structure which is pivotally connected to the frame enclosing the conveying mechanism at a location which provides the closest proximity to the machine operator so that easy access to the mechanism for maintenance is possible. The entire collating apparatus is so mounted on the copying machine that, when viewed in the horizontal plane, it is fully within the perimeter of the copy machine, does not require any additional floor space and is unaffected by placement near walls or in corners.
