Abstract: The invention relates to a device for supplying, centering, and cutting a stapling wire in a stapling device, the subsequent formation of a staple, and stapling a stack of sheets. According to various aspects of the invention, methods and apparatus for feeding a wire to a lever assembly having a horizontally moveable cutter, moving the moveable cutter in a direction transverse to a stapling direction by actuating the lever assembly with the wire, and cutting the wire with the cutter, forming a staple from the wire, and driving the staple into sheets.

Abstract: A device is provided for holding one or more stacks of sheets, especially stacks of sheets that are stored offset to each other, for example by offset collating, that are output to an output station by a sheet processing device. According to an aspect of the invention, the device consists of a portable container that can be placed at the output station of the sheet processing device, which has a horizontally aligned stacking floor, two upright side walls that are opposite each other and an upright impact wall that is arranged downstream of the sheet output device for the stack of sheets.

Abstract: A magazine arrangement for receiving multiple film cartridges, that, for processing of the filmstrips present in the film cartridges, can be attached to a processing machine. A magazine includes a cylindrical member that has chambers, arranged in a circle around the member center axis, in which the film cartridges are housed axially one above another. Each free end of the magazine is covered by two superimposed closure disks that are mounted rotatably with respect to one another about the member center axis against spring force. In this context an adapter is provided with which the magazine can be joined, in the direction of the member center axis, to a further magazine of the same shape and size; whereby the adapter has an arrangement which can be brought into engagement with the closure disks of the two magazines.
