Reloading Device for Stacks of Sheets of Paper, Plastic Material, or the Like and Method for Operating such Reloading Device

Abstract

A reloading device for stacks of sheets of paper or plastic has at least one receptacle for receiving a stack and at least one support onto which the stack is placed. At least one peeling device is arranged at a bottom end of the at least one receptacle, wherein the peeling device is configured to move transversely to the stack and, when moving transversely to the stack, to peel in a peeling step at least one sheet from a bottom end of the stack. The peeling device is preferably a peeling blade.

1 . A reloading device for stacks of sheets of paper or plastic, comprising: 
 at least one receptacle ( 1 ) for receiving a stack ( 2 );    at least one support ( 5 ) onto which the stack ( 2 ) is placed;    at least one peeling device ( 14 ) arranged at a bottom end of the at least one receptacle ( 1 ), wherein the at least one peeling device ( 14 ) is configured to move transversely to the stack ( 2 ) and, when moving transversely to the stack ( 2 ), to peel in a peeling step at least one sheet ( 13 ) from a bottom end of the stack ( 2 ).    
     
     
         2 . The reloading device according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one peeling device ( 14 ) is a peeling blade.  
     
     
         3 . The reloading device according to  claim 1 , wherein the peeling device ( 14 ) has an edge ( 15 ) shaped as a cutting edge.  
     
     
         4 . The reloading device according to  claim 3 , wherein the edge ( 15 ) has edge portions ( 19 ,  20 ) positioned relative to one another at a slant to form a roof-shaped contour.  
     
     
         5 . The reloading device according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one support ( 5 ) in a peeling area of the at least one peeling device ( 14 ) has a through opening ( 10 ) allowing a sheet ( 13 ) peeled off by the at least one peeling device ( 14 ) to pass through the at least one support ( 5 ).  
     
     
         6 . The reloading device according to  claim 5 , wherein the at least one support ( 5 ) is movable relative to the stack ( 2 ).  
     
     
         7 . The reloading device according to  claim 6 , wherein the at least one support ( 5 ) moves together with the at least one peeling device ( 14 ) relative to the stack ( 2 ) during the peeling step.  
     
     
         8 . The reloading device according to  claim 6 , wherein the at least one support ( 5 ) comprises rollers ( 6 ) diverting a load generated by the stack ( 2 ) away from the at least one peeling device ( 14 ).  
     
     
         9 . The reloading device according to  claim 5 , wherein in an initial position of the at least one support ( 5 ) the through opening ( 10 ) is located adjacent to a lateral limiting device of the receptacle ( 1 ).  
     
     
         10 . The reloading device according to  claim 5 , wherein sheets ( 13 ) arranged on or close to the at least one support ( 5 ) have an edge area located above the through opening ( 10 ).  
     
     
         11 . The reloading device according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one peeling device ( 14 ) in an initial position is located outside the stack ( 2 ).  
     
     
         12 . The reloading device according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least one air-supplying nozzle ( 22 ) arranged at the at least one support ( 5 ) and oriented toward a bottom end of the stack ( 2 ).  
     
     
         13 . The reloading device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a bottom ( 9 ) arranged underneath the at least one support ( 5 ).  
     
     
         14 . The reloading device according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one peeling device ( 14 ) is arranged vertically above the at least one support ( 5 ) relative to a vertical extension of the stack ( 2 ).  
     
     
         15 . A method for operating a reloading device according to  claim 1 , comprising the steps of: 
 placing sheets ( 13 ) on top of a stack ( 2 ); and    peeling off sheets ( 13 ) from a bottom end of the stack ( 2 ).    
     
     
         16 . The method according to  claim 15 , wherein the step of placing is carried out during the step of peeling off.
