Abstract (en)
An apparatus serves for processing a stack (6) of sheets. The apparatus comprises a frame (2), a conveyer (8) mounted in the frame for during operation carrying the stack along the frame, a barrier wall (5) extending across the conveyer and a slot (14,18,21) between the barrier wall and the conveyer for allowing a sheet from the bottom of the stack to pass through the slot but not the remainder of the stack. At least the lower part of the barrier wall comprises a brush (11,17). The apparatus has a simple and inexpensive construction, which in a reliable way operates with a rather high rate of motion without risk for harming the sheets, which can be of varying size and thickness.
