Abstract
Stackerfor sheet-shaped objects is described having feeding devicefor depositing sheet-shaped objectsin storage pocketwith variable capacity. Storage pockethas contact surfaceagainst which sheet-shaped objectsdeposited in storage pocketlie with one edge, and storage trayon which sheet-shaped objectsare stacked in storage pocketflat and parallel to storage tray. Storage trayis mounted movably for changing the capacity of storage pocket. Storage pocketis disposed with contact surfaceat an angle to the horizontal so that sheet-shaped objectsstacked in storage pocketrest with their edgeson contact surfaceand the resulting frictional force between edgesof sheet-shaped objectsand contact surfacesubstantially compensates the slope descending force acting on stackformed of sheet-shaped objectsin the direction of storage tray. Feeding deviceexerts a force on stackwhen depositing sheet-shaped objectat least as of certain stack thickness c, thereby moving storage trayso as to enlarge the capacity of storage pocket
