An arrangement for feeding sheets from a bundle of sheets includes a wheel which, in operation, is located at one end of the bundle and which functions to feed-out the outermost sheets of the bundle, and lifting means for lifting the bundle in a direction towards the wheel. The lifting means includes a post and a bundle-carrying plate which is movable up and down the post. The arrangement includes a spring element (13) which functions to lock the plate (12) to the post (11) in a rest state and has a free-end which is fitted to the post and defines with the longitudinal axis of the post an angle other than 90 DEG and whose remaining end is attached to the plate (12) and movable perpendicular to the post. The arrangement also includes an actuator (14) which is fitted to the post (11) close to the spring element (13) and which is releasably attached mechanically to a drive means for moving the plate (12) relative to the post (11). As the actuator (14) is moved along the post (11), the actuator will act on the spring element (13) so as to release the plate and enable it to move along the post. <IMAGE> |
