Abstract
The present invention relates to a circular stack sheet feeding device having a lower loading platform, which can be loaded with imbricated (arranged with regular overlapping edges) sheet stacks, having a transport and reversing mechanism, which transports the imbricated sheet stacks in a first transport direction to the underside of a reversing drum and with the aid of the reversing drum transports the sheets about the drum upwards in a second transport direction onto a removal platform, above which is guided an elastically yielding, taut conveyor belt which runs in the direction of delivery and runs between two rollers which are arranged on axes parallel to the reversing drum and are horizontally adjustable in the delivery direction of the delivery wheel. The underside of the roller lying closest to the reversing drum and the upper side of the other roller arranged in the area of the end of the removal platform opposite the diverting drum are adjusted to the same height. Individualization means remove the top sheet of the stack in a perpendicular direction from the transport direction of the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is supported in the removal area between the two rollers by a rigid support divided into two sections which are pivotably mounted about an axis that lies in the axis of rotation of the second roller or is parallel thereto. At least one pivot mechanism engages and is capable of pivoting the rigid support about the first roller.
