  • Two stack guide elements are laterally arranged in spaced relation from such forward edge of this fiat stationary support and against which the articles of the stack bear with their fold edge. The stack guide elements and the flat stationary support cooperate with one another so as to define the compartment for the article stack.
  • Suction means incorporating a number of suckers are mounted for conjoint pivotal movement about an axis located in the neighborhood of the forward edge of the fiat stationary support, and suitable conveying means transport away the individual paper article which has been separated from the stack.
  • Drive means bring about rocking movement of the suction means from an article-withdrawal position from which the suckers bear against the underface of the lowermost article of the stack into a delivery position in which the lowermost article is flexed into a position where it can be seized by the aforesaid conveying means.
  • the present invention broadly has reference to an improved apparatus for the reliable separation of one article after another from a stack of such articles.
  • the stack separator of the present invention has particular applicability for high-speed separation of a stack of paper products, such as magazines, newspaper sections, supplements, signatures, periodicals, and so forth. More precisely, the invention can be used to advantage in conjunction with a high-speed stufiing machine for stuffing newspapers with supplements or inserts, for instance a newspaper stufling machine of the type set forth in my co-pending United States application, Ser. No. 498,600, filed Oct. 20, 1965 and entitled Method of and Apparatus for Stuffing Printed Matter with Inserts, Particularly for Stufling Newspapers and the Like.
