Abstract: A device for raising an edge of a topmost sheet from a pile of sheets comprises two cursors slidably coupled to a mobile head. On one end of each cursor two needles are fixed, which needles pierce into said edge. The device is especially useful in the manufacturing process of phenolic-melaminic decorative plastic laminates and preformable or postformable treated panels for raising sheets of paper which have been impregnated with resin and piled one on another.
