A turnover-sequencer staging apparatus and method for turning over substantially orthogonally re-routing, and simultaneously merging parallel side-by-side conveyed sheets into seriatim-conveyed form. Prior art turnoversequencer staging devices are relatively complicated and expensive. The relatively simple construction of the turnover-sequencer staging apparatus of the invention overcomes these disadvantages. The invention includes a receiver (10) for receiving at least two side-by-side sheets (18 20); a turnover-, sequencer (12, 14) comprising turnover tubes (16 17) for turning over and , orthogonally redirecting the sheets in imbricated form; and a de-imbricating device (22).

Why it's free to use
- Filed November 6, 1995 and granted July 24, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended November 6, 2015.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 6, 2017.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
