Abstract (en)

The present invention concerns a method for stacking thin objects, whereby the objects are fed in an overlapping manner with a preceding object lying partially on top of a following object, and are pushed one under the other against a stop (4), such that the stack is formed from bottom to top. At a distance from the stop (4) which is smaller than the distance between successive overlapping objects, an air line is created from under the stack being formed, such that the bottommost object is blown upward to make a following object go underneath it up against the stop (4). The invention also concerns a device for carrying out this method. This device contains means to create a vertical air line near the stop (4). <IMAGE>
