Method and device in the manipulation of product stacks, so-called wicket stacks, composed of bag-like and/or sheet-like products by means of wicketing. In wicketing, products are during their manufacturing process stacked in wicket stacks into a wicket pin/wicket pins (21, 21') located in a wicket pin assembly (30; 40; 50; 60), which stacks are removed from the wicket pin/pins (21, 21') manually or by means of a machine. According to the invention the position of the wicket pin/pins (21, 21') with respect to their base (32, 42, 52) and/or the position of said base (32; 42; 52) with respect to the conveying mechanism (7) transferring the wicket pin assembly (30; 40; 50; 60) is changed from a first position (A) used in the forming of the stack to a second position (B) that substantially differs from said first position. The second position (B) is advantageous for the removal of the stack (33) from the wicket pin/pins (21, 21') manually or by means of a machine, or for another operation conducted for the stack. <IMAGE> |
