Abstract
A stacking device includes a movable stacking wall and a further stacking wall between which flat stackable elements are adapted to be stacked. An impact wall defines the path of insertion for a stackable element newly introduced between the stacking walls. The movable stacking wall is impinged by a restoring element with a restoring force in the direction of the further stacking wall. A braking element partially converts the kinetic energy of the movable stacking wall to thermal energy independent of the position thereof.
Claims15
A stacking device for flat stackable elements (3, 4), having a movable and a further stacking wall (1, 2) between which the stackable elements (3, 4) can be stacked, and an impact wall (5), by means of which a path of insertion for a stackable element (4) newly introduced between the stacking walls (1, 2) is defined, the movable stacking wall (1) being acted upon by means of a restoring element (6) with a restoring force (F) in the direction of the further stacking wall (2), characterized in that the movable stacking wall (1) is assigned a braking element (6), by means of which kinetic energy of the movable stacking wall (1) can be partially converted into thermal energy irrespective of the position of said wall.
The stacking device as claimed in one of the above claims, characterized in that the restoring element (6) is designed as a spring-loaded coiling drum (6) for a sheathed cable (7), said coiling drum being connected to the movable stacking wall (1) by means of the sheathed cable (7).
