<p>An apparatus for separating one or more essentially thin and planar products (3), such as books, periodicals and newspapers, from a stack (2) of such products (3). The apparatus includes a gripping means (6) for gripping of at least one product (3) at a time at the top of the stack (2), and for lateral movement of the product (3) to engagement with a further-feeding transport means (7), and a threshold means (14) forming an abutment against the products (3) below the product (3) to be separated at a time, and which has a slot opening (15) having a height (H) allowing the passing of only said at least one product (3) at a time. The threshold means (14) is connected to a position sensor (20) sensing the top level of the stack (2) and giving a signal to a regulator (5), and the regulator (5) controls a stack-supporting hoisting means (1), so that the hoisting means (1) raises the stack (2) to the correct top level in relation to the threshold means (14).</p> |
