Abstract

A sheet guide in a feeder of a sheet-fed printing press has lateral guide plates for upper sheets of a sheet pile for laterally aligning the upper sheets with one sheet edge, and at least one deformable leaf spring located at a side of the sheet pile opposite to the side thereof at which the aligned sheet edge is disposed and acting by spring force against the upper sheets transversely to a sheet-feeding direction of the upper sheets of the sheet pile, the leaf spring being re-deformable counter to the spring force to behind a surface of the guide plate.
