Abstract
Apparatus for sequentially registering a sheet, movable along a travel path, relative to such travel path, clamping such sheet at its registered location and guiding such sheet as it moves from its registered location. Such apparatus comprises an elongated member having a sheet registration portion, a sheet clamping portion, and a sheet guiding portion. The elongated member is sequentially moved relative to the sheet travel path to: a first position where the registration portion intercepts and stops a sheet moving along the travel path at a registration location to effect registration of the sheet, and the sheet clamping portion and sheet guiding portion are inoperative; a second position where the sheet clamping portion secures the registered sheet at such registration location; and a third position where the clamping portion releases the registered sheet, and the sheet guiding portion guides the sheet as it moves away from the registration location.
