Abstract

Apparatus for continuous singling of stacks of loose sheet material, in particular bank notes, vouchers, checks, separation cards, etc., includes a singling unit for singling stacks of loose sheet material and a feeding device which transports stacks of loose sheet material to be singled into a position where sheet material of the stack is grasped by the singling unit and transferred to a transport system. The feeding device has a first, substantially single-axis moved feeding element and a second, substantially multi-axis moved feeding element. A container is provided to receive the stack of loose sheet material, the container having a movable platform on which the stack of sheet material rests. The container is received by a container receiving device which has a transport device connected to the platform of the container located in the container receiving device, wherein the platform of the container together with the transport device forms the first feeding element.
