Abstract
An apparatus for stacking sheet-like products delivered one after another in a spaced relationship to each other with a transporting device, including a conveyor arranged above a transporting plane of the transporting device for conveying the delivered sheet-like products to a stacking position, and a braking device located beneath the conveyor, with the conveyor having a conveying surface provided with suction openings or magnets for lifting the sheet-like products off the transporting device and for retaining the sheet-like products as they are conveyed to the stacking position.
Claims9
An apparatus for stacking sheet products delivered one after another in a spaced relationship to each other at a predetermined speed by a transporting device, said stacking apparatus comprising:
- conveyor means arranged above a transporting plane of the transporting device for lifting the sheet products from the transporting device and for conveying the sheet products in a direction toward a stacking position at a speed corresponding to the predetermined speed;
- braking means located beneath the transporting plane of the transporting device, said braking means having a receiving surface defining a conveying surface of said braking means and formed by an upper surface of a conveyor belt;
- drive means for driving said conveyor belt with a first speed corresponding to the predetermined speed and a second reduced speed when said conveyor belt reaches the stacking position;
- and
- control means for controlling lifting of the sheet products by said conveyor means and depositing of the sheet products from said conveyor means on the receiving surface of said braking means.
