<p>A sheet feeding device comprising housing means (28) for housing a stack of sheets (200,201); support means (21A,21B) which carry at least one suction member (10A,10B); and drive means (1,5,12,13,18,.20A,20B) for moving the support means (21A,21B) between a sheet adherence position (Figure 6b), in which the suction member or members (10A,10B) engage a portion of the topmost sheet (200) of the said stack and cause said portion to adhere by suction to the suction member or members (10A,10B), and a sheet release position (Figure 6f) in which the topmost sheet (200), which has been moved from the sheet adherence position (Figure 6b), is released from the suction member or members (10A,10B) so as to be delivered to a point of use characterised in that the support means (21A,21B) has at least one sheet contact portion (129) which is spaced from the suction member or members (10A,10B) and contacts the said topmost sheet (200) in the sheet adherence position (Figure 6b), the drive means (1,5,12,13,18,20A,20B), after moving the support means (21A,21B) into the sheet adherence position, then moving the support means (21A,21B) into a sheet pivoting position (Figure 6c) in which the said portion of the topmost sheet is pivoted about the contact portion or portions (129) so as to be moved away from the remaining sheets in the stack, the support means (21A, 21B) being thereafter moved into the sheet release position (Figure 6f).</p> |
