Abstract
A device for feeding sheets of a recording medium from a stack to an office machine, having movable elements which are moved by way of driven continuously rotating traction devices in the feed direction over the respective top sheet of the stack. The movable elements are supported by guide skids and are in contact with the top sheet under pressure to separate the top sheet from the second sheet of the stack beneath it and displace the top sheet with respect to the second sheet in the direction of feed. The movable elements each have at least one roller arranged across the direction of feed, mounted so it can rotate freely on a traction device.
