Abstract
A sheet distributing device includes a plurality of sheet receiving pockets for receiving sheets in a predetermined sequence. A flexible belt conveyor is provided for transporting sheets in a transport plane adjacent in-feed openings of the pockets. A pair of guide rolls is positioned at the in-feed opening of each of the pockets and each pair of rolls is positioned tangent to a lower run of the belt conveyor and extends transverse to the transport plane in spaced apart parallel relation. A deflector means is movable on a path parallel to the transport plane and also between a raised position and a lowered position against the lower run of the belt conveyor. In the lowered position the deflector means locally deforms the belt conveyor into a loop between a pair of the guide rolls to thereby divert a sheet from the transport plane and direct it into a pocket.
