Abstract
A method for removing at least one flat article at a time from an at least approximately vertical stack of articles supported on a support surface, by the steps of pushing at least the lowermost article in the stack sideways away from the stack by moving an ejector member transversely to the stack, and approximately simultaneously with the contact of the ejector member at the lowermost article, lowing the support surface in such a manner that the ejector member ejects the lowermost article from the stack during free fall of the lowermost article.
