Abstract

A device for directing individually supplied sheets onto a sheet depositing surface includes a feeder for feeding sheets along a sheet path onto the surface and a pivotably mounted sheet directing element that includes a first arm which extends across the sheet path. The pivotable directing element includes a weight mounted thereto above its pivot axis for increasing the moment of inertia of the pivotable directing element.
