Abstract

The present invention pertains to a collecting device for sheets 3 for forming stacks of sheets 6 from individual sheets 3 fed in at a stop 26, as well as with a removing device 28 for the stacks 6 formed. To remove the stacks of sheets 6 with a high reliability of operation, the present invention provides for a movable stop 26 and a driven roller arrangement 29, 30, 31, which is mounted such that it can be fed to the stack of sheets 6. On the other hand, the present invention discloses a special, elastic conveying means 8, 11, which guides the sheets 3 onto the stack of sheets 6 along a transport path 7 and over a deflector 16. Both measures can be embodied both as a combination and separately.
