Abstract: The device (11) conveys the sheets (14) output from a laser printer (10) for deposition on a stack (12). For matching to the growing height of the stack (12), at least one conveying roller (28) defining an outlet (37) is arranged on a height-adjustable carriage (21). A feeler lever (26) senses the respective height of the stack (12) and effects an automatic tracking of the carriage (21). By means of the device (11), the achievable stack height can be multiplied with respect to the standard height.

Abstract: A feeding device 2 is arranged upstream of a distributing device 20 and comprises a sheet duct, and a pair of clamping rollers 10, 12 arranged at the outlet end 8 of the latter. The distributing device comprises an individual path 80" for each of a multiplicity of delivery points 70". Each path is delimited by flexible bands 56. On the side directed against the feeding device each of the bands is connected to a compartment-forming member 58 of a receiving compartment 82 and on the opposite side to a deflecting member 84. The receiving compartments form a unit 22, which may be swivelled relative to the feeding device. Transport rolls 64, which are disposed along the bands, are common to all pathes and are movable transversely to the path direction.
