Abstract: An article conveying apparatus converts vertical motion to horizontal motion. An arcuate slide moves the article from a vertical orientation to a horizontal orientation then onto a horizontally pivoted cradle. The cradle is offset pivoted permitting the article to pivot the cradle to a discharge position. Then the article rolls off the cradle down an inclined ramp to an output port. Suitable guiding and cushioning is provided.

Abstract translation: 物品输送装置将垂直运动转换成水平运动。 弓形滑块将物品从垂直方向移动到水平方向，然后移动到水平枢转的支架上。 支架偏移枢转，允许物品将支架枢转到排出位置。 然后，物品从倾斜的斜坡下降到输出端口。 提供合适的导向和缓冲。

Abstract: A continuously variable reduction optical system for document copiers wherein a plurality of sets of reduction indicators are provided, each set corresponding to a particular size copy paper. Each set of indicators can be moved by the operator to frame the document to be copied and simultaneously the reduction optical system is set to provide proper adjustment for all system parameters. The indicators are continuously viewable by the operator. An embodiment is disclosed wherein each indicator is positioned so that reduction ratio is maintained whatever the copy paper size.
