Stacking apparatus for alternately stacking a continuous ribbon-like separator and foil sheets and method for stacking a continuous ribbon-like separator and foil sheets

A stacking apparatus for alternately stacking a continuous ribbon-like separator and foil sheets, comprising:

• a stacking station configured to receive foil sheets;
• a first transfer device for transferring first foil sheets and a second transfer device for transferring second foil sheets respectively movable between a pick-up position and a release position, wherein the release position of the first transfer device and the release position of the second transfer device are placed at said stacking station and wherein when the first transfer device is in the release position the second transfer device is moved away from the release position and wherein when the second transfer device is in the release position the first transfer device is moved away from the release position;
• a feeder device of a continuous ribbon-like separator configured to feed a continuous ribbon-like separator towards the stacking station;
• a displacement device configured to operate on the continuous ribbon-like separator fed by the feeder device and comprising an accompanying device movable between a first end position and a second end position and above the stacking station when the second transfer device moves from the release position to the pick-up position, and movable from the second end position to the first end position and above the stacking station when the first transfer device moves from the release position to the pick-up position;
• wherein the displacement device moves the accompanying device between the first end position and the second end position and between the second end position and the first end position along a curved path.
