Abstract
Sheet delivery device employing a vertically-movable main pile hoist, a horizontally-insertable auxiliary platen and a racking device having board-supporting ledges immediately below the platen. The auxiliary platen and racking device are mounted on framework of a vertically movable auxiliary pile hoist, and thus move in unison between an upper sheet-receiving limit and a lower pile-discharge limit. When used for pile racking, the platen is first inserted below a conventional sheet conveyor to temporarily receive sheets. A racking board is next inserted below the platen, being supported by side ledges of the racking device. Once the board is in position and the ledges have been removed, the platen may be removed to deposit a newly-forming pile of sheets from the platen onto the board for conventional racking of small sheet piles.
