Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the generation of a jam of a form by providing a difference of height between the center part and both side parts of an intermediate tray with regard to the width direction, and pushing in both ends of the form to the width being smaller than the width of the form by a width setting plate. CONSTITUTION:A difference of height is provided between the center part 2a and both side parts 2b, 2c of an intermediate tray 2 with regard to the width direction, and also, both ends of a form are pushed in to the width being smaller than the width of the form P by width setting plates 3a, 3b. That is, since a difference of height is provided between the center part and both side parts of the intermediate tray 2, the tip of the form placed thereon becomes a bent shape due to its dead weight. Also, even in case when the deflection by only the dead weight is insufficient, when both ends of the form are pushed in by the width setting plates, the form comes to be bent enough, and comes to be scarcely bent in the carrying direction. In such a way, it is prevented that the rear end is raised due to curling, and the generation of a jam can be prevented.
