A compact implementation of the mining device can not. If further on the Belt conveyor a scale formation with vertical or Edges of the products running parallel to the direction of conveyance to be created, the stack must be on the stack support be oriented obliquely to the rollers. So that is an object shortly before being placed on the belt conveyor just held at one corner. When dropping the item it can therefore be particularly difficult at high speeds to twists and thus to an undesirable mechanical stress on the object as well as a uneven scale formation.
  • the invention has for its object a device to dismantle a stack of flat, flexible objects type mentioned in such a way that the lateral expansion of the device is minimized.

  • the orbit U is in one plane, which is vertically oriented here.
  • the rollers 3 are relative pivotable to the wheel 12 by the holding element 13 a base 13a fixed to the wheel and one Rotatably connected clamp 13b, which the Roller 3 in the storage area 3a holds.
  • the axis of rotation D of the Pivotal movement is essentially radial or secantial direction, i.e. doesn't go straight through here the center M of the wheel 12.
  • the rollers 3 are preferably mechanically by means of a link control pivoted.
  • the control backdrop, not shown here acts with the holding element 13 or the roller 3 appropriate way together.
  • the rollers form over a partial section A1 the orbit U is a pad 7 for the stack 1.
  • the rollers in this section are parallel to each other, preferably horizontally or perpendicular to Orbital plane aligned.
  • the stacking pad is present 7 curved according to the orbit U.
  • the stack 1 lies on the roller carpet formed by the rollers 3 on and is laterally by vertical boundary elements 6 held in place. These preferably define a shaft, the dimensions of which correspond to the format of the processing objects can be adjusted.
  • the stack 1 is dismantled from below by a separator 5 engages the front edge 4a of the object 4.
  • the leading edge 4a is pulled down, for example by the separator 5 in the work area of the separator lowest object 4 sucks.
  • In the resulting space drives a roller 3 and peels it from the separator bent object as it moves from Stack 1 off.
  • the stack 1 is through several rollers 3 supported from below. It's not necessary, that an object is completely peeled off, before the separator 5 on another object accesses. Are present in the direction of movement of the rollers downstream several objects still with the stack connected while their upstream edges already bent away from the stack and through each other Rollers 3 are separated.
  • rollers 3 When removing the stack, the rollers 3 run parallel to the front or back edge of the stack 1. The objects are therefore at all times across their entire Support and twist the width of at least one roller not at the handover to the belt conveyor 8.
  • the rollers 3 are freely rotatable about their longitudinal axis and roll on the bottom of the stack or between the bottom lying objects. It can also be a means for rotating the rollers 3 in the area of the stack support 7 may be provided, for example on the conically shaped Attack the end of the rollers 3. This can cause friction further reduced between the rollers 3 and the objects become.
