Abstract
An anti-skew device is positioned between a stacker input nip and stacker in a shingled sheet conveying apparatus. A plurality of fingers are mounted along a transverse mounting element disposed between the nip and the stacker. The fingers are designed to normally hang downwardly, but some of them are raised upwardly as they are engaged by a sheet passing therebeneath, and rest on top of the moving shingled sheets. The transverse mounting element is longer than the width of the sheets and some of the fingers disposed outwardly of the sheets continue to hang down and provide an alignment guide to hold the longitudinal sheet edges against shifting or skewing. The downwardly hanging outer fingers are disposed adjacent the side edges of the formed stack to hold the upper sheets therein in alignment.
