Abstract

Method of storing and transporting individual paper sheets abutting against each other to form a staple of sheets, in which a precompressed staple of sheets resting between upright support members on a support surface of a first magazine is gripped at opposite ends by clamping jaws of a gripper, which compresses the staple further to a self-supporting body, whereafter the body is lifted from between the support members of the first magazine and transported between support members of a second magazine, spaced from the first, at which the body is then relaxed by removing the clamping jaws; and an arrangement for carrying out the method.
