Abstract
An apparatus for forming stacks of flat objects, in particular printed products, comprises a compartmentwhich is mounted for selective rotation about a vertical axis and whose compartment space' is bounded on two mutually opposite sides by bounding elements. In the ejection direction A, the compartment is bounded by upstream guide elementsand downstream guide elements. The flat objectsare fed to the compartmentfrom above and come to lie in a stack formed on the compartment base. The upstream guide elementsand downstream guide elementscan be moved independently of one another in order, firstly, to permit the ejection of the stack formed and, secondly, to permit the stacked objectsto be held firmly during the rotation of the compartment
