Abstract
An apparatus for discharging sheets of paper from a copying machine, printing machine, or the like. The apparatus has a plurality of spaced parallel belt supporting rollers with a belt member reeved around them and having at least one run extending from a first to a second one of the belt supporting rollers. The belt member is positioned to receive sheets on the outer peripheral surface at the end of the run adjacent the first belt supporting roller. An offset roller is positioned in rolling contact with the outer peripheral surface of the belt member at a position downstream of the first belt supporting roller and a solenoid or spring device is connected to the offset roller for changing the position of the offset roller between a position in which the axis of rotation thereof is parallel to the axis of rotation of the belt supporting rollers and a position in which the axis of rotation thereof is skew to the axis of rotation of the belt supporting rollers. A guide is positioned just downstream of the offset roller for guiding sheets of paper away from the belt member.
