<p>Downstream of a paper leaf stacking machine, e.g. a paper napkin folder, there is a device comprising supports (2) on each of which is mounted at least one leaf separating finger (1). Each support is kept, by a stop (3), in a fixed position corresponding to that in which the paper folder forms and deposites the folded leaves (4). After a predetermined number of leaves have been deposited, the stop is disengaged and the finger is snapped in between one sheet and the next and so advances at least part of the way with the stack of folded sheets. At a certain point of the path, each pack of leaves, as marked by two successive fingers, is lifted out by a forceps or the like and each support is returned to its starting position.</p> |
