Abstract:
An arrangement ( 100 ) for handling flat elements ( 202 ), in particular paper elements ( 202 ). A guiding structure ( 101 ) is provided, along which a flat element ( 202 ) is guidable and transportable along a transport direction (T). A hold-down element ( 102 ) is coupled to the guiding structure ( 101 ) for holding down the flat element ( 202 ) to the guiding structure ( 101 ). The hold-down element ( 102 ) has a support section ( 103 ) on which the flat element ( 202 ) is supportable. The hold-down element ( 102 ) extends along an extending direction ( 116 ) having a component perpendicular to the transport direction (T), wherein suction holes ( 104 ) are arranged along the extending direction ( 116 ). A suction unit ( 110 ) includes a suction opening ( 111 ) coupled to the suction holes ( 104 ) of the hold-down element ( 102 ), an air inlet ( 112 ) and an air outlet ( 113 ), wherein the suction unit ( 110 ) directs air from the air inlet ( 112 ) to the air outlet ( 113 ) for generating an air flow ( 114 ). The suction opening ( 111 ) is formed and arranged such that the air flow ( 114 ) passes the suction opening ( 111 ) so that air flow ( 114 ) entrains air through the suction opening ( 111 ).

Claim (Index 1):
An arrangement for handling flat elements, the arrangement comprising:\n a guiding structure along which a flat element is guidable and transportable along a transport direction (T), a hold-down element which is coupled to the guiding structure and located and configured for holding the flat element down to the guiding structure, the hold-down element comprises a support section on which the flat element is supportable, wherein the support section comprises suction holes through which air is drawn for holding the flat element on the support section, wherein the hold-down element extends along an extending direction having a component perpendicular to the transport direction (T), wherein the suction holes are arranged along the extending direction, a suction unit comprising a suction opening configured to be coupled to the suction holes of the hold-down element, the suction unit having an air inlet and an air outlet, the suction unit is configured such that air is directed from the air inlet to the air outlet for generating an air flow, and the suction opening is formed and arranged such that the air flow passes the suction opening such that the passing air flow entrains air through the suction opening.
