Abstract
A unit having a plurality of bins for holding inclined stacks of sheets to be collated having a reciprocating arrangement supported by the unit which arrangement includes rigid push rods for pushing simultaneously one sheet from the top of each stack of sheets. The push rods and bin construction are so arranged that the frictional pads on the rod ends do not engage the bin surface when the bin is empty. A portion of the reciprocating arrangement may be tilted to permit lifting the push rod ends to the upper region of the bins to facilitate loading.
