Abstract
A device for removing a band (2) wrapped around a bundle (1) of sheets by means of a cutting device (11). The cutter (7) of the cutting device is arranged on the plane on which the bundle is transported in such a way that it dips into a side face of the bundle, cutting along the entire length of the bundle and thereby severing the band located at right angles to the side face. The severed band (2) is grasped on the side opposite the cutting by a hook (13) of a pull-off device (12) provided opposite the cutting device (11), and removed at right angles to the direction in which the bundle (1) is transported.

A device for removing a band from a bundle of stacked sheets having edges defining opposite side faces of the bundle, the device comprising:
- a transport device operable to transport the bundle of sheets past a band-removing device;
- a cutting device having a cutting element arranged in a plane parallel to said sheets, the cutting device intersecting one of the side faces and extending into the bundle between the sheets as the bundle is transported;
- and,
- a pull-off device for removing the band when severed;
- whereby the cutting element cuts throughout the entire length of the bundle, severing the band wherever disposed along the side face of the bundle, without damage to the sheets.
