PURPOSE: To classify fold sections smoothly and assuredly without damaging them by loading the fold sections on a table movable up and down, moving a classifying belt to the fold sections, and conveying the fold sections by pinching them between the classifying belt and a roller.
CONSTITUTION: A fold section 12 is laid on a top face of a table movable up and down by a cylinder 11. When the fold section 12 is raised to a height to be contacted with a roller 14, the fold section 12 is stopped. On the other hand, a motor 17 is driven and a ball screw 15 is rotated through a coupling 16, so that a belt unit 13 is moved to the roller 14. At the same time, a belt driving motor 13a is rotated. As a result, when a belt 13b comes into contact with the fold section 12, the fold section 12 is peeled off from the top face of it in sequence. Further, when the belt unit 13 moves, the fold section 12 is pinched by the roller 14 and the belt 13b. Thus, the fold section 12 is classified and moved to be placed inside a cassette 18.
