ABSTRACT A device for feeding successive sheets without overlapping the sheets includes a loading chute having a recess formed therein at the exit end for guiding individual sheets, a pivotally mounted retractable gate at the exit end of the chute which when in the closed position extends into the chute recess, means to retract the gate so that a sheet may be fed from the chute including means to release the gate from the retracted position after the leading edge of the sheet has passed the closed position of the gate and before the trailing edge of the sheet has passed the closed position of the gate. The release permits the gate to float against the sheet in the recessed portion of the chute so that when the trailing edge of the sheet being fed passes under the gate, the gate drops of its own weight into the recess thereby blocking passage of the next sheet. In a preferred embodiment the loading chute is inclined to the horizontal.
