Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung (1) zum Abtrennen von einzelnen, flachen, biegbaren Gegenständen (2, 2a) von der Unterseite eines Stapels (3) solcher Gegenstände (2, 2a) und zum Wegfördern der abgetrennten Gegenstände (2, 2a) vom Stapel (3). Die Vorrichtung enthält einen Stapelraum (4) mit einem Stützbereich (5) und den Stapel (3) im Stützbereich (5) von unten stützende Stützmittel (7a, 7b, 21), wobei die Stützmittel eine Stützrollenanordnung (7a, 7b) aus einer Mehrzahl von Stützrollen (8) enthalten. Ferner enthält die Vorrichtung mindestens ein Abtrennorgan (19) zum Abtrennen der Gegenstände (2a) von der Unterseite des Stapels (3) im Stützbereich (5). Die Stützrollenanordnung (7a, 7b) ist Teil einer Rollenführungseinrichtung (6) und zwischen einer Stützposition (SP) und einer Freigabeposition (FP) translatorisch hin und her beweglich.

The invention relates to a device (1) for separating individual, flat, bendable objects (2, 2a) from the underside of a stack (3) of such objects (2, 2a) and for conveying the separated articles (2, 2a) away from the stack (3). The device comprises a stacking space (4) with a support area (5) and the stack (3) in the support area (5) supporting from below support means (7a, 7b, 21), wherein the support means comprises a support roller assembly (7a, 7b) of a plurality of support rollers (8) included. Furthermore, the device contains at least one separating element (19) for separating the objects (2a) from the underside of the stack (3) in the support region (5). The support roller assembly (7a, 7b) is part of a roller guide device (6) and between a support position (SP) and a release position (FP) translationally reciprocate.
