Abstract
The invention concerns a gathering device () with a revolving body () for the formation of sheet stacks () from individually delivered sheets (). Thanks to a device () for generating a holding force, preferably by electrostatic charging, which is arranged essentially outside the outer surface () of the revolving body (), the sheets () can be secured to the revolving body () without the revolving body () needing to have receiving positions dictated by mechanical means. Therefore, the receiving positions can be adapted as desired to the particular requirements.
