Claim 7:
8. A method for forming piles in a sheet processing machine (01) comprising at least one pile formation device (701), the at least one pile formation device (701) comprising at least one pile formation means (705) and at least one deposit element (703) that can be displaced relative to the at least one pile formation means (705), the method comprising:
inwardly moving the at least one pile formation device (701) in an inwardly-moving direction (E) from an inward-moving position (723) into a temporary storage position (724), and
outwardly moving the at least one pile formation device (701) from the temporary storage position (724) into an outwardly-moving position (726) counter to the inwardly-moving direction (E), wherein:
the at least one pile formation means (705) is at least horizontally displaced by at least one first drive (706),
the at least one deposit element (703) is at least partially horizontally displaceable by at least one second drive (704),
the at least one deposit element (703) is configured as at least one at least partially linearly configured transport means (703),
during the outwardly moving the at least one pile formation device (701) from the temporary storage position (724) into the outwardly-moving position (726), a relative movement takes place between the at least one deposit element (703) and the at least one pile formation means (705), wherein, during the relative movement, based at least on the at least one first drive (706) and the at least one second drive (704) being fixed to a frame (733) of the sheet processing machine, the least one first drive (706) moves the at least one pile formation means (705) to the outwardly-moving position (726), while the at least one second drive (704) holds a region (721) of the at least one deposit element (703) stationary.
