A device (1) for example for a scan system, a deposit of documents, receipts, or similar flat objects (2) in a secured sequence in which the objects (2) are fed through a slot (9) of a rotary body (8) to a conveyer device (7) and are pushed therefrom to a stack of the receipts or objects, and the conveyer device (7) can be stopped when the rear edge of the receipt or object (2), seen in the direction of feed, is still arranged in the slot area of the rotary body (8). In this way, the rotation of the rotary body (8) can be triggered, causing the slot (9) to be rotated away from the end of the receipt (2), i.e. the end of the receipt slips out of the slot (9) or leaves it, however remains in the area of the rotary body (8), with an exterior of the body forming a hold-down unit for the end of the receipt while the next receipt (2) being fed. Any insertion of the next receipt under the previous receipt (2) is therefore prevented.
A device (1) for depositing flat or sheet-like objects or receipts (2) in a consistent sequence from bottom to top on a stack (3) or laterally in reference to each other, comprising an elastic, approximately plate-shaped counter support (6) that can be moved upward or sideward with an increasing height or thickness of the stack (3) against a force of a spring (5), a conveyer device (7) acting in a direction of feed to engage a top of a respective next one of the flat or sheet-like objects or receipts (2) facing away from the counter support (6) and acting as a holding-down unit, the conveyor device including at least one of a conveyer belt or conveyer rollers, with a side facing the counter support (6) or a bottom of the conveyer device (7) at least one of affecting the conveyance or acting as the holding-down unit, a rotary body (8) is arranged upstream in the direction of feed in reference to the conveyer device (7), with a rotary axis of the rotary body being arranged perpendicularly in reference to the direction of feed of the objects or receipts (2) in a plane of feed or transportation, the body (8) comprises a slot (9) which penetrates therethrough in the direction of feed that allows a respective one of the objects or receipts (2) to pass, and a feeding motion ends or is interrupted when the an end section of the object or receipt (2), seen in the direction of feed, is arranged shortly in front of an inlet into the slot (9) or in the slot (9) itself.
