Abstract
A copy sheet reversing apparatus is arranged on a reproduction machine for changing the direction of movement of copy sheets from the reproduction processor to the opposite direction to a finishing station. The reversing or turn-around apparatus is devised to accomplish reversal of direction in the smallest space possible without causing sheet deformation while the same is still pliable from image fixing in the processor. An arrangement of large diameter flat-rimmed wheels and cooperating transport belts join together for transporting each sheet around a fairly tight curved path.
