Abstract
The apparatus according to the invention comprises a collector bin (2) for fed sheets (5) that is made up of a sheet support (4) and a sheet stop (12). A retaining apparatus (8) for the fed sheets (5) is provided facing the sheet support (4), and a stop finger (10) can be pivoted into the paper path. A jogger wheel (6), with which the fed sheets (5) can be transported toward the sheet stop (6), is installed above the sheet support (4) rotatably about a shaft (A). A holding element (14) for the stop finger (10) can be moved on the shaft (A) independently of the rotary movement of the jogger wheel (6), and a stopgap closure element (16) is also arranged on the holding element (14) in such a way that the stop finger (10) or the stopgap closure element (16) can be introduced into the paper path.
