Abstract:
A sheet transfer device for transferring a sheet between two sheet processing devices comprising a switch for directing sheets from a first transport path coming from the first sheet processing device onto a two-way transport path or for directing sheets from the two-way transport path onto a second transport path for feeding sheets to the second sheet processing device. A transport pinch is provided along the two way transport path for reversing a sheet on the two-way transport path. When in use, the two-way transport path extends downward in a vertically extending free-hanging chamber wherein the sheet engaged by the transport pinch is allowed to hang freely under the influence of gravity. Thereby, a compact device is formed which is able to adjust the sheet to a suitable orientation for the second processing device. The device further prevents forces from the first processing device to disrupt the sheet's orientation in the second processing device.

Claim (Index 6):
The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the transport pinch further comprises a support roller positioned opposite of at least one of the register wheel for moveably holding the sheet between the support roller and said registering wheel, wherein each support roller is:\n provided on a stationary rotation axis; and wherein each support roller is tiltable with respect to its rotation axis for adjusting a tilt angle between the rotation axis and a central axis of each support roller.
