Abstract
A bearing part (7 or 20) is arranged on a continuously driven drive shaft (4) arranged parallel to the transport plane of a sheet (6) to be aligned and at right angles to the sheet transport direction (A), on which bearing part an aligning roller (5 or 15 or 16 or 18 or 21) at an oblique angle (.alpha.) to said sheet transport direction (A) is rotatably mounted. The bearing part (7 or 20) is stationarily secured against turning and moving, and is freely passed through by the drive shaft (4). The aligning roller (5 or 15 or 16 or 18 or 21) is mounted rotationally symmetrical to said drive shaft (4). The drive shaft (4) and the rotatably and obliquely mounted aligning roller (5 or 15 or 16 or 18 or 21) are connected to one another by a positive coupling (5a, 8 or 14, 15a, or 17 or 19). Several bearing parts (7 or 20) with aligning rollers (5 or 15 or 16 or 18 or 21) can be arranged on the drive shaft (4) and be driven by one and the same drive shaft (4).
