FEEDING DEVICE FOR FOLDED SECTION TO COLLATOR OR THE LIKE

摘要

PURPOSE:To enable smooth feeding of folded sections to a collator and prevent the sections from being broken by interposing a pressure detecting member for parallel laminated section groups between a feeder mechanism portion and a discharging end portion of a belt-conveyor conveying the sections. CONSTITUTION:A folded section feeding portion B, sequentially transferring the section 22, being put thereon transversally in parallel, to a section discharging portion located at an upper end thereof, is provided with a belt-conveyor 21, driven at substantially the same speed with a section transfer unit A consisting of belt-conveyors 4, 7. In this case, an upper end of a guide plate 23 is supported by a frame 1 through a shaft, and an oscillating amount of a guide plate 26 is controlled by a stopper member 36, while the guide plate 23 is attached so as to be always pulled into a direction toward the sections by a spring 37. A limit switch 39 is also provided on a back surface of a lower end portion of the guide plate 23, and when an excess pressure is imposed on the section groups and thereby the guide plate 23 is pivoted backwardly, the switch 39 is opened. Thereby, an electromagnetic clutch 34 is disconnected and the running of the conveyor 21 may be intermitted.
