Abstract
Abstract A device for swinging a plurality of accumulating wheels is proposed. By the use of the device of the invention, the accumulating wheels are swung forcibly and simultaneously to the upper retracted positions and swung independently to the lower accumulation positions. The device comprises a stopper integrally mounted on an accumulating wheel oscillating shaft and being biased by a spring to move each of the accumulating wheels normally and independently to the lower accumulating position, a swinging lug swingably mounted on the accumulating wheel oscillating shaft and adapted to be engaged with said stopper to swing the same in the direction so that the accumulating wheel is forcibly moved to the upper retracted position, and a link bar operatively connected to said swinging lug to swing the same between the angular positions for setting the accumulating wheel at the lower accumulating position and for setting the accumulating wheel at the upper retracted position.
