Abstract

An apparatus for singling sheetlike data carriers is proposed wherein the stack (30) to be singled is located on a rest (5) which is movable relative to a feed device (4) in clocked fashion such that individual data carriers are moved in the direction of a singling gap whose width is variable by a retaining element (13) in synchronism with the clocked motion of the rest (5). This apparatus is able to attain a high throughput even with different sheet qualities while guaranteeing high functional safety.
