Definitions
- a series of sets of vacuum fingers are provided for feeding sheets seriatim from a stack.
- the stack is positioned on a paper support with movable side guides for positioning sheets of one of several preselected widths to be picked up by the vacuum fingers.
- Solenoid valves interconnect the vacuum fingers with a source of vacuum and are operated in response to the position of the side guides so that only those sets of fingers which are operative to engage sheets of the width of the paper on the support have a vacuum applied thereto.
- This invention relates to a paper feeder and more particularly to a vacuuin paper feeder for feeding paper seriatim from one of several preselected widths of paper.
- copy sheets are typically seriatim from a supply, such as a stack of copy sheets, to a printing or transfer position where an image is placed on the copy sheets.
- Copy sheets are fed from the top of the stack by means of vacuum fingers which pick up the top sheet and feed it to a transfer means, such as feed rollers, which feed the sheet to a transfer station.
- a paper support for supportingthe supply of paper is normally provided with adjustable side guides for holding sheets of different selected width and length.
- Vacuum pickup fingers are provided with valves which may be closed to shut off the vacuum source to fingers which are not used for the narrower widths of paper.
- Such vacuum fingers are shown in US. Pat. No. l,575,892 toAshby; U.S. Pat. No.
- a support for supporting a stack of one of several sheet sizes.
- the support has movable sheet-positioning means for positioning the stack below a plurality of vacuum fingers which are mounted for movement toward and away from the support to feed sheets seriatim to suitable paper transport means.
- the vacuum fingers are connected to a source of vacuum. Valves are interposed between some of the fingers and the vacuum source and are controlled in response to movement of the sheet-positioning means to provide vacuum at. those fingers which are to be brought into engagement with the sheets but not to provide vacuum to those vacuum fingers which will not come into engagement with the sheets.
- the invention contemplates the provision of a paper support having adjustable side guides which are interconnected by a rack and pinion arrangement so that upon adjustment of one side guide, the opposite side guide is also adjusted.
- Several sets of movable vacuum fingers are provided above the support and are movable into engagement with the uppermost sheet of the stack to lift the sheet from the stack and feed it to suitable paper transport means.
- a first set of vacuum fingers engages the narrowest width paper whereas the next wider width paper is engaged by both the first set of vacuum fingers and a second set of vacuum fingers.
- An additional set of vacuum fingers is provided for each wider width of paper.
- Each set of vacuum fingers, except for the first set of vacuum fingers is provided with a vacuum control valve which interconnects the vacuum fingers with a vacuum source.
- the vacuum control valves are respectively connected to switches positioned under the paper support.
- the switch which is connected to the valve for the second set of fingers is located so as to be operated upon positioning of the side guides to receive paper of the next wider width.
- Each of the other switches are positioned across the bottom of the paper support from the switch for the next narrower width at a distance equal to one-half the difference in width between the width of paper for which it is to be operated and the next narrower width.
- One of the paper guides is provided with one or more permanent magnets thereon positioned to operate the respective switches at the appropriate positions of the paper guides.
- the magnets Upon movement of the adjustable side guides, the magnets will operate the appropriate switches for the vacuum control valves so that vacuum is supplied from the vacuum source to those vacuum fingers only which are to come in contact with the selected paper width. It is apparent that by one single, simple operation the paper-feeding device may be adjusted to handle a different size paper. Thus, the operator need only move one of the side guides which in turn moves the other side guide to the proper position and causes adjustment of the valves so that only those vacuum fingers which will come in contact with the paper supply to be placed in the paper-feeding apparatus will have vacuum supplied thereto.
- FIG. 1 is a top plan view of the paper-feeding device constructed in accordance with this invention.
- FIG. 2 is a section, taken along line 2-2 of FIG. 1, with parts omitted for clarity of illustration, showing further details of the paper feeding device;
- FIG. 3 is a fragmentary section, taken along line 33 of FIG. 1, showing a rack and pinion arrangement for adjusting the side guide;
- FIG. 4 is a schematic circuit diagram which can be used with the valves of FIGS. 1 and 2.
- a paper-feeding device which includes a paper support 2 for supporting stacks of paper of predetermined width between adjustable side guide 4 which is movable in slot 5 and adjustable side guide 6 which is movable in slot 7.

- pickup finger set 22 which includes a pair of pickup fingers 24 and 25 for feeding a narrow sheet of paper 14
- pickup finger set 26 which includes pickup fingers 28 and 29, which together with pickup finger set 22, feed sheets 12 of intermediate width
- pickup finger set 30 which includes fingers 32 and 33, which together with sets 22 and 26, feed wide copy sheets 10 through the feed rollers 18 and 20.
- pickup finger set 22 which includes a pair of pickup fingers 24 and 25 for feeding a narrow sheet of paper 14
- pickup finger set 26 which includes pickup fingers 28 and 29, which together with pickup finger set 22, feed sheets 12 of intermediate width
- pickup finger set 30 which includes fingers 32 and 33, which
- pickup finger set 26 is connected to tee 34 through a solenoid valve 38 whereas pickup finger set 30 is connected to tee 34 through a solenoid valve 40, which solenoid valves are adapted to be closed when the paper to be fed is not wide enough to be engaged by the vacuum fingers of the respective sets.
- side guide 4 is provided with a rack 42 extending below support 2
- side guide 6 is provided with a similar rack 44, extending parallel to rack 42.
- racks engage opposite sides of a pinion 46 which is illustrated in FIG. 3 as being rotatably mounted below support 2 by means of a screw 48 extending through a bearing 50 which is held in place by a washer 52.
- one of the side guides such as side guide 4 is provided with an arm 54 extending under support 2 and having a pair of spaced pennanent magnets 56 and 58 which are spaced apart along arm 54 so as to control valves 38 and 40 in response to the position of the side guides, as more fully described below.
- a pair of switches 60 and 62 are illustrated as being attached to the bottom of support 2 above the path of arm 54 and are spaced a distance apart equal to one-half the difference in width of the two paper widths for which they are to be used.
- the switches could be mounted on a frame member (not shown) spaced below support 2.
- These switches are connected in series with solenoid valves 38 and 40, respectively, which are connected to a power source 64, as shown in FIG. 4.
- magnet 56 will be positioned under switch 62 to cause solenoid valve 40 to shut ofi" the vacuum to vacuum finger set 30 since this finger set would not be used with intermediate size paper 12.
- lf support 2 is movable from a storage position in which the support is filled with a supply of paper to the work position shown in the drawings, it may be desirable to provide a memory circuit so that upon adjusting of the side guides while the tray in the storage position a signal will be provided to the memory circuit which in turn will provide a signal to the solenoid valves upon positioning of the tray in the work position.
- a signal upon adjusting of the side guides while the tray in the storage position a signal will be provided to the memory circuit which in turn will provide a signal to the solenoid valves upon positioning of the tray in the work position.

- a paper-feeding device which can accommodate any one of several widths of copy paper.
- paper-positioning means such as side guides
- sets of vacuum fingers for the different sizes of paper can be controlled so that vacuum is provided only to these fingers which will come in contact with the size paper positioned on the support. This is accomplished by providing spaced magnets on at least one of the side guides which are positionable under one or more switches in accordance with movement of the side guides to provide a control signal to solenoid valves which interconnects the respective sets of vacuum fingers with a vacuum supply.
