SHEET CONVEYANCE DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for conveying sheets in a machine for handling sheets by using a turnably arranged gripper having comparatively small mass moment of inertia, capable of allowing a gripper tip part of the gripper to cooperate with a gripper loading part and arranging a gripper device substantially without play, and manufactured by improving a conventional device of such type that is provided with a plate spring for pivoting the gripper tip part on a gripper shaft. SOLUTION: The plate springs 46, 47 are arranged so as to allow virtual extended lines V1, V2of the plate springs 46, 47 to cross at one point S on one straight line G passing through the gripper tip part 34 and a central point M of the gripper shaft 37. The crossing point S exists on a side crossing a central axial line M when viewed from the gripper tip part 34. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
