<p>An separation unit (20) for sheet-like value documents (14, 14') in a sheet handling apparatus (10). For having small outer dimensions of the separation unit and for the separation unit being capable of swiftly, without any intermediate storage, positively bringing the documents in the stack apart in a longitudinal direction, it is inter alia proposed that the separation unit (20) has an infeed opening (22) for receiving in the infeed unit (20) a stack (12) of the documents standing on edges of the documents, a separation channel (66) for the documents following the infeed opening, an engagement surface (64) in the separation channel (66) for receiving the edges of the documents and forming an acute angle to a plane of the stack (12), first separation means (56) opposite to the engagement surface (54) in the separation channel (66) for engagement with a lateral face of an adjacent document (14) and for feeding said adjacent document (14) with a first lower speed in the separation channel (66), and second separation means (70) at a downstream distance from said first separation means (56) for grasping the document (14) and for feeding it with a second higher speed in the separation channel (66) so that that the document (14) is separated from the other documents in the stack (12).</p> |
