Abstract
Sorter slide apparatus for disk jacket combinations that include a slide extended into a bin of a sorter for receiving such combinations as they are discharged into a bin and conveying them to a removable box of a magazine. The disk combinations in being moved to be discharged into a bin have their open rear flaps in advance of the remainder of the jacket, and when discharged fall onto the upper part of the slide to slide downwardly and transversely while the upper slide portion supports them to be inclined downwardly both in longitudinal and transverse directions. The transverse intermediate portion of the slide has edges to cause the combinations to swingingly rotate through an angle of about 90.degree. whereby the opened flap faces toward the bin. The disk combination in moving off the slide move over the top of a pole pin and have the edges opposite the rear flaps abut against the web of a bracket that is pivotally connected to the lower end portion of the slide or the front wall of the box so that the disks will move relative the jackets whereby the drive openings of the disks and jackets become substantially concentric relative to one another in the event they are not substantially concentric.
