Format adjusting device for collecting station, has coupling device producing temporary coupling between limiting element and drive device for adjusting limiting element and releasing coupling after limiting element obtains desired position

摘要

The device has a limiting element e.g. front stopper (12), for definition of dimension of individual racks, where the dimension is aligned angular or transverse to a delivering direction (A) of a stack (16) of papers. The element is displaceably mounted angularly or transversely at a stationary guide device e.g. guide rail. A drive device adjusts the element along the guide device. A coupling device produces a temporary coupling between the limiting element and the drive device for adjusting the limiting element, and releases the coupling after the limiting element obtains a desired position.
