Abstract
Uniform diameter rollers are used with eccentric members to impart a V-shape to a signature stream in the infeed section of a stacker. At least one of the rollers of the shaft includes an eccentric member to offset the rotational axis of that roller. A roller of the second set provided on a second shaft is similarly offset so that sheet product fed between the rollers will be bent to add rigidity and stiffness to the signature stream.
