Abstract
The present invention relates to a device for collecting sheets into a bundle and then conveying the bundle to a subsequent location comprising two pairs of driveable rollers capable of forming a nip between each pair of rollers. The rollers come into contact with the bundle of sheets and form the nip only after the bundle is located in the nip forming area between the rollers. One pair of rollers always forms a nip with the bundle of sheets therein, thereby preventing the bundle from shifting and tearing. The timing and interaction between the two pairs of driveable rollers is described as well as their interconnections.
