Abstract:
1. A device for the delivery and/or receipt of individual sheets, comprising: a parallelepiped container in which individual sheets are stored in the form of a sheet stack, the container having a container wall parallel to one end face of the sheet stack, the container wall having a rectangular pass-through opening with first opposite edges whose spacing from one another is equal to a first edge length of the individual sheets and having second opposite edges whose spacing from one another is smaller than the other edge length of the individual sheets; means for pressing the individual sheets against the container wall; a sheet pusher designed to extend into the pass-through opening and to lie onto the end surface of the sheet stack for pushing an individual sheet parallel to the stack end surface and perpendicularly to the second edges; two transport rolls with axes arranged parallel to the stack end surface and to the second edges and which form a roll gap for gripping an individual sheet, with one of the transport rolls being so arranged near one of the second edges that it, as considered perpendicularly to the stack end surface, lies at least partially inside of the pass-through opening; and drive means for driving the sheet pusher and the transport rolls; wherein the drive means are reversible in regard to their drive direction.
