  • Patent number: 11932507
    Abstract: The invention relates to a station for receiving sheet-form elements and discharging bundles of sheet-form elements for a packaging manufacturing machine, comprising: an arrangement for feeding sheet-form elements successively one after the other (8), a lift table (16), mobile in a vertical direction, comprising several continuous conveyor belts (17) extending in a longitudinal horizontal direction, for receiving the sheet-form elements in bundle form, an output conveyor (14), for discharging the sheet-form elements in bundle form, and a separator (21), mobile in the vertical direction, comprising several reception arms (22) being deployed in the longitudinal horizontal direction, for transiently receiving the sheet-form elements in bundle form, the arms (22) being disposed so as to be able to cross in the vertical direction without interacting with the belts (17) of the table (16).

  • Patent number: 11912524
    Abstract: A separator (1) for temporarily receiving sheet elements (9) that are to be transferred from a stacking table (2) to an output conveyor (3) of bundles of sheet elements comprises: a support (10) mounted with the ability to slide in a vertical direction; a drive device (11) for driving the support in the vertical direction; several arms (13) extending in a longitudinal horizontal direction, spaced apart in a transverse direction, at least one arm (13) being mounted with the ability to move in the longitudinal horizontal direction with respect to the support, the movement of the arm modifying its overhanging length with respect to the support (10) on a first side in the longitudinal horizontal direction; a drive system (12) configured to simultaneously move the arm in the longitudinal horizontal direction and to keep another of the arms in its longitudinal position.
