Abstract

An arrangement for delivering stacked items from magazines inclined relative to the vertical through a delivery opening at a magazine lower end side includes a rotor with radial blades located in the vicinity of the delivery opening of the magazines to deliver items from the magazines. The rotor has an axis of rotation arranged in or below the bottom of the magazine, and the blades, while rotating, move on a continuous path partially extending through the magazine. Each blade serves as a delivery member for the items and moves in the magazine and in the direction of item delivery out of the magazine, when the rotor rotates in skidding direction of the items. A latch mechanism includes a ratchet wheel connected with the rotor for rotation therewith, and a latch arranged on a pivotable latch body. The latch mechanism is provided for locking the rotor against rotation as well as for rotating the rotor, and the blades each act to deliver items and as a stop for the items.
