Abstract
A buckle chute folding machine is described which has a single selector knob which selects a variety of fold patterns by simultaneous adjustment of the position of a stop blade in a buckle chute and a deflector bar positionable with respect to a nip roller set to either prevent or allow a second fold to be executed. An automatic paper feed system is provided to feed sheets from a holder tray, each sheet advanced incrementally into the machine to preclude double or overlapped feeding of the sheets through the nip roller sets.
