Device for aligning a stack of sheets arranged one above the other

摘要

The device for the alignment of at least the leading edge of sheets in a stack includes a support plate upon which the misaligned sheets are laid, a sheet feeder (02) by which the sheets can be taken from the support plate to form an overlapped stream feed, and a reversing unit (06) installed behind the sheet feeder and by which the stream feed is turned so that each sheet is freely accessible in the region of its leading edge. A transporting device (17) is installed behind the reversing unit to carry the sheets to the leading edge stop of the support table (16) for alignment of their respective leading edges.
