  • Apparatus for the charging of a processing line for printed sheets
    Patent number: 6070866
    Abstract: An apparatus for the charging a processing line with printed sheets is comprised of a conveying device which pulls off the printed sheets from a bottom side of a stack, with a separating apparatus that partially lifts off the printed sheet to be pulled off from the stack being arranged upstream of the conveying device. The separating apparatus positions the lifted off printed sheet in an open gripper arrangement that rotates with the conveying device and releases it, once the printed sheet has been gripped by the gripper arrangement, so that the printed sheet can be pulled out of the magazine without deflection.
