Separating arrangement

Arrangement for the separation of an end sheet (2′) from a group of parallel sheets, which overlap each other, and has been fed from a stack of sheets, the separating arrangement comprising a pair of parallel rotatable rollers, which between themselves form a roller nip, the group of sheets moving in the plane thereof toward the roller nip with heading edges substantially parallel to the rollers, and a first one of the rollers being arranged to rotate in a first direction in order to contact and convey the end sheet (2′) in the feed direction thereof characterized in that, at the roller nip, the envelope surface of the second roller is arranged rotatable in a rotational direction opposite to the rotational direction of the envelope surface of the first roller, that the envelope surface of the first roller has a higher friction coefficient than the second roller, that a displacement arrangement is arranged to mutually bias the rollers into contact against each other, and that the rollers are mutually directed for the displacement toward and away from each other.
