Abstract
The present invention provides a sheet diverting unit for selectively diverting a sheet towards a first receiving path or a second receiving path, comprising an inlet path for advancing a sheet in a sheet supply direction towards a diverter; the diverter comprising a shaft, a deflector being connected to said shaft and extending between said shaft and a tip, and an actuator arranged for rotating the shaft thereby selectively pivoting the deflector between a first deflector position for directing the sheet into the first receiving path and a second deflector position for directing the sheet into the second receiving path; said deflector comprising a guiding edge and a second edge, said second edge arranged facing a second trajectory to the second receiving path in the second deflector position for directing the sheet into the second receiving path and said guiding edge arranged facing a straight first trajectory to the first receiving path thereby said guiding edge facing a guiding element in the first deflector position for guiding the sheet into the first receiving path; wherein the guiding edge comprises a recess portion, wherein the recess portion is arranged inwardly away from the straight first trajectory to the first receiving path when the deflector is arranged in the first deflector position, wherein the recess portion is arranged for extending substantially from the guiding element towards the shaft when the deflector is arranged in the second deflector position.
