<p>An apparatus for feeding sheetlike items from a stack (3) has an item feed means (7,8) for separating and feeding a single item from the stack (3). A holder (2) receives the stack (3) and has an platform (4) for supporting the stack, and a first and a second side guide (5,6) for guiding items in a feeding direction. The platform (4) is movable into a feeding position in which separating and feeding of a single item is enabled and into a loading position in which the holder is able to receive a stack (3). At least one of said side guides (5,6) is movable relative to the other one. A side guide adjustment mechanism (10) is provided for moving said at least one side guide (5,6) toward and away from the other side guide. A drive means (14) is operably connected to the side guide adjustment mechanism (10). Said drive means (14) is out of engagement with said side guide adjustment mechanism (10) when said platform (4) is in the feeding position.</p> |
