Abstract
A rotary bristle brush, particularly adapted for use in a decelerating conveyor for shingling sheets, operates over a preload surface that subjects the moving bristles to an increasing bending deflection. The bristles are released from the preload surface just above the sheets entering the shingling conveyor to allow the ends of the preloaded bristles to spring downwardly into contact with the sheet. The contact force of the bristles helps drive the sheet downwardly onto the shingling conveyor which may be a vacuum conveyor.
