Abstract
The invention relates to a system or apparatus intended for temporary storage of flat articles. Drive means (22A, 33) enable the articles coming from a first track (15) to be carried to a storage pocket (35). A pressure roller (51B) that is normally in contact with a removal roller (45B) is momentarily spaced apart from its position in order to enable an article stored in the pocket to be put in contact with the removal roller, so that later it is engaged in a second track (53). The pressure roller prevents an article that arrives in the pocket later from coming into contact with the removal roller, as long as the article constrained between these two rollers has not been ejected from the pocket.
