Abstract

An arrangement for dispensing sheets from a store (10) to a withdrawal station (11), including first transport means (13-14) for transporting sheets from the store (10) to a collecting station (15), and second transport means (16-17) for transporting a bundle of sheets from the collecting station (15) to the withdrawal station (11). The collecting station (15) includes two mutually opposing walls between which the bundle of sheets is clamped during the initial stage of transportation from the collecting station. The walls are provided with wheels or rollers which are rotatable about shafts and which co-act with each other, two and two, one on each wall. The shafts of all wheels on each wall have mutually the same rotation direction, which is dependent upon the desired direction of transportation of the bundle of sheets, and the shafts of all wheels can be simultaneously pivoted in one and the same plane, depending upon the desired transport direction. One wall is pivotally mounted at its upper end and the other wall is pivotally mounted at its lower end, this latter wall being arranged as a sheet removing means for co-action with so-called finger wheels, which are arranged upstream of the collecting station (15) and which project through openings in the other wall when this wall is swung to its sheet removal position.
