Abstract

A feeder device for transferring a stack of paper sheets, such as bank notes, from a stack feeder device to a sheet receiving device includes an air conducting plate mounted between the stack feeder device and the receiving device. The plate has a plurality of bores extending therethrough at spaced intervals. Fluid pressure means are connected to the bores for discharging a stream of pressurized fluid along a feed path in the direction of the sheet receiving device and producing a low pressure along a surface of the plate adjacent the feed path. The bores are oriented to diverge toward opposite sides of the feed path.
