    Abstract: TABULATING CARDS OR THE LIKE ARE CAM RELEASED IN SUCCESSION FROM GRIPPER CLIPS CARRIED BY AN ENDLESS BELT AND CAUSED TO DROP TAIL-EDGE-FIRST A SLIGHT DISTANCE BY GRAVITY TO REGISTER IN RESPECTIVE CARD-RECEIVING AREAS OR POCKETS UNIFORMLY SPACED ALONG AN ENDLESS MEANS THAT MOVES IN A PATH ADJACENT THAT OF SAID BELT AT THE TIME OF CARD RELEASE. AT EACH SUCH POCKET IS A RESPECTIVE CUTTING TOOL COMPRISING A MOVABLE BLADE THAT IS MOVED IN A DIRECTION PERPENDICULAR TO THE PATH OF SAID ENDLESS MEANS BY ENGAGEMENT OF A CAM FOLLOWER WITH A CAM SURFACE TO CUT BEVELED CORNERS ON THE TRAILING EDGES OF EACH CARD. AFTER THESE CORNERS HAVE BEEN CUT, THE ENDLESS MEANS STARTS TO CARRY THE TOOL IN A CURVED PATH AROUND A HUB. DUE TO THE RESULTANT TEMPORARY ACCELERATION OF THE TOOL, THE LEADING EDGE OF EACH SUCCESSIVE CARD IS DRIVEN BACK UP AND INTO REGISTRY UNDER THE GRIPPER CLIP FROM WHICH IT HAD BEEN RELEASED DURING THE CUTTING OPERATION WHILE THE TRAILING EDGE IS STILL SUPPORTED BY THE POCKET, AND AS THE LEADING EDGE REGISTERS WITHIN THE JAW OF THE CLIP, A CAM RECLOSES THE CLIP TO REGRIP THE CARD SO THAT IT WILL ONE AGAIN BE ADVANCED SOLELY UNDER THE CONTROL OF SAID ENDLESS BELT.

    Abstract: DOCUMENT FEEDER SYSTEM HAVING A SUSPENDING/COMMENCING MODE Disclosed herein is a document feeder system, interfaced with a copier system, comprising, inter alia, a semi-automatic document feeder (SADF), an automatic document feeder (ADF) and an associated logic control system that allows the suspending of a prior task being run on either of the foregoing document feeders and the commencing of a subsequent or urgent task on any one of the other foregoing document feeders immediately thereafter. Thus, when an urgent task operator selects a feeder suspending/ commencing mode button, a single control panel is instantly made available so that the urgent task copy quantity and feature selections can be made. After the foregoing is accomplished, the copying of the prior task original document on the document viewing glass is completed and ejected into a prior B0977019 task exit pocket. Then the chosen urgent task feeder is enabled for feeding, In addition, the prior task status is retained for recall without having to reformat the single control panel. Accordingly, when the urgent task is completed, the urgent task operator de-selects the feeder suspending/commencing mode button thereby causing the copy quantity and feature selections of the prior task to be re-entered into the single control panel and the prior task to be immediately re-commenced without further operator intervention.
