SINGLE SHEET PICKING AND TRANSPORT MECHANISM ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An apparatus for removing a sheet from the top of a stack of sheets and transporting it laterally in the direction of a processing station has a pick means with an arcuate contact surface for frictionally engaging an exposed edge of the top sheet in a stack. The arcuate contact surface transports the sheet laterally at a small downward angle relative to the plane of the top of the stack. The arcuate contact surface contacts the exposed edge so that portions of the arcuate contact surface adjacent the edge extend both above and below the plane of the top of the stack. Darn means is located adjacent but spaced from the arcuate contact surface and below the plane of the top of the stack. The dam means slidingly engages the sheet edge and the sheet surface opposite the surface engaged by the arcuate contact surface to guide the sheet edge toward the arcuate contact surface. Retard means are mounted downstream from the dam means so as to receive the edge of sheets guided by the dam means and pinch the sheets between the retard means and the arcuate contact surface.
