Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0908385A1] The transport system for moving stacks of flat, smooth items to a process station has two side supports (16) of flat metal plates (18) whose spacing is adjusted by a hand-wheel (22). The stack is moved on an endless belt, with the rear of the stack held by supports which push the stack against a stop on the next process station e.g. a wrapping station. The side guides are powered by a vibrating drive to align the stack during the transport. The stops are retracted when the stack has been positioned in the next process station.
