An end fence mylar [A] is attached to each bin entrance and an end fence
block [B] is stuck on the mylar. These are attached with two-sided tape, as
shown in figure 1. There is a twisted spring at the rear end of the bin
entrance to raise the end fence block and mylar. When the bins are at the
bin home position, the support bin [C] and the first bin [D] are positioned at
the bend in the bin cam track [E] as shown. The support and first bins have a
space between them so that the end fence mylar can fully rise until the end
fence block stops it.
The space between the support and first bins is at the bin entrance section
as shown in figure 2. Since the end fence mylar is thin, the copy exits to the
first bin over the mylar. The steep angle of the bin helps the exited copy slide
back due to its own weight under the mylar against the bin entrance.
When the bins move up along the bend of the bin cam track, the end fence
mylar and block of the first bin are pushed down by the support bin, and
those of the second bin [F] rise as shown in figure 3.
When the bin lift motor stops, the first and second bins are positioned as
shown in figure 4. The lowered end fence mylar helps to prevent the copy in
the first bin from moving out of the jogged position. The end fence mylar and
block of the second bin are ready to receive the next copy.
