A device for the formation of a train of underlapping sheet-like articles and more particularly for the formation of an overlapped stream during conveying sheets cut by a preceding transverse cutter device from a web of paper to a feed table of a paper processing machine, comprising a holding up device arranged over a belt arrangement and with which the trailing part of the successively moving articles is able to be moved into engagement with the formation of an inlet gap for the respectively following article and more particularly by means of an associated lifting device, is able to be brought into engagement, and a draw off device following the belt arrangement and adapted to be driven at the same speed as the overlapped stream. The belt arrangement is designed in the form of a drag device with circulating entraining belts adapted only for engagement of the consecutively moving articles at the leading edge thereof. The holding up device comprises a brake device with circulating holding belts adapted for engagement with the trailing ends of the consecutively moving articles, such holding belts being adapted to be driven at an adjustable speed which initially is equal to the conveying speed of the entraining belts of the belt arrangement and then may be reduced therefrom to be equal to the speed of the overlapping stream.
