DEVICE FOR SEPARATING A BUNDLE OF PAPER

摘要

A separating device readily separates a desired number of sheets of paper in bundle form from a pile of paper sheets placed on a pallet or skid without disturbing the orderly piled-up bundle. The device comprises a nozzle made in a flat, palmlike form by which a compressed air is ejected into the boundary portion between the paper bundle and the paper pile and diffused uniformly over the entire area of the boundary portion to provide an air separation layer. The nozzle has guides for effecting diffusion of the compressed air.
