Abstract
An apparatus for forming stacks of individual articles, particularly diapers, contains a supply mechanism, which transfers the diapers successively and tangentially to a transfer device. The transfer device contains a plurality of revolving, tangentially positioned receptacles, which individually receive the articles. At a sequencing station the articles are then radially slid out of the receptacles, so that with a low impact speed and without spacing they form a stack.
