PURPOSE:To have accurate and smooth supply of sheets, accommodated in a stack in a storage, by receiving the leading edge slidably with the guide/receptacle surface of a front guide member and holding the whole aslant with the leading edge up. CONSTITUTION:An attraction device 6, a kicker 8 and a feed roller 10 are installed on a table 1, and a rear guide member 2, a transverse guide and a front guide 5 are furnished to form a storage H for sheets S. In the front guide 5 a guide/receptacle surface 24 to receive the leading edge of sheets slidably is formed aslant above the feed hole 20 of the storage H, so as to accommodate the sheets in a stack in the storage H aslant with the leading edge up. According to this arrangement the trailing edge of a sheet to be set on the oversurface of the table through attraction by the device 6 is in the condition as in contact with the trailing edge of the subsequent sheet and loaded with the latter's weight, but is put in non-contact condition as all with this subsequent sheet immediately after extrusion due to advance of the kicker 8 or in the second half and later. |
