For the separation of the sheets of a record carrier from a pile (10) in order to feed them to an office machine or a printer, a rolling action device (14) sits on the uppermost sheet (12) of the pile (10). By means of the rolling action device (14), the uppermost sheet (12) is loosened from the following next sheet (20) and is pushed against a stop in the feeding direction. The stop is positioned at an impingement angle of at least 90 degrees in relation to the plane, in which the uppermost sheet (12) is being pushed against the stop. Then the stop is moved upwards so that it could pick upwards the front edge of the uppermost sheet (12). The stop can be built, for instance, of at least one upwards-running belt (22).
A method for selecting the sheets of a record carrier from a pile in order to feed them to an office machine or a printer, comprising the steps:
A device for selecting the sheets of a record carrier from a pile in order to feed them to an office machine or a printer, comprising a rolling action device that lies on the uppermost sheet of the pile and exerts a rolling action on the uppermost sheet in the feeding direction, a stop mounted before the front edge of the pile pointing in the feeding direction, wherein the front edge of the uppermost sheet is moved against the stop and wherein the stop can be moved upwards at an impingement angle of at least 90 degrees in relation to the flat plane and the direction in which the uppermost sheet is fed.
