Abstract:
Device for isolating sheets of a recording medium, in which the sheets are stored in a stack essentially disposed horizontally, with an advance roller resting on the stack and following the decreasing height of the stack, which is drivable in order to acquire the topmost sheet of the stack under frictional closure and to slide it for the purpose of isolation with its leading edge against an obliquity, adjoining the stack and rising relative to the sheet plane, wherein the advance roller, while it is being driven on the topmost sheet, moves away from the obliquity until the leading edge of the sheet runs up on the obliquity, characterized in that the advance roller (16) is supported vertically freely movably and that the counter force corresponding to the advance force onto the advance roller blocks the vertical movability of the advance roller (16).
