Abstract

A device for conveying and stacking sheets of paper has a first conveying unit receptive of sheets for stacking and a second conveying unit downstream of the first conveying unit for removing a stack and wherein the units include upper and lower belts. A single upper belt is associated with two lower belts for the two units and the upper belt is alternately coupled for movement with one or the other of the two lower belts at the same speed as the lower belt to which it is coupled to effect either the stacking of the sheets or the movement of the stack.
