An apparatus (10) and method for discharging sheets from a starwheel assembly (14) and creating stacks of a desired number of sheets without interrupting the rotation of the starwheel assembly. The present invention separates sheets such that one separated sheet completes a stack and the other separated sheet is supported by a separator (38) to begin a new stack. The completed stack is preferably transported away from the starwheel assembly (14) by a conveyor (54) as the new stack supports additional sheets that are discharged from the starwheel assembly (14). The new stack will preferably move away from the starwheel assembly (14) to provide clearance for the accumulation of additionally discharged sheets. The apparatus can allow for cyclical repetition of the separation of sheets, the stacking of sheets, and the transportation of stacks such that continual rotation of the starwheel assembly (14) is not interrupted.

L'invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé permettant de décharger les feuilles d'un ensemble roues de distribution et de créer des piles comprenant un nombre désiré de feuilles sans interrompre la rotation de l'ensemble roues de distribution. Ce dispositif sépare les feuilles de telle manière qu'une des feuilles séparée vient compléter une pile tandis qu'une feuille séparée suivante est supportée par un séparateur et permet de commencer une nouvelle pile. La pile terminée est de éloignée de l'ensemble roues de distribution par un transporteur afin de créer un espace permettant l'accumulation des feuilles nouvellement distribuées. Ce dispositif permet une répétition cyclique de la séparation des feuilles, de l'empilage de feuilles et du transport des piles, autorisant une rotation ininterrompue de l'ensemble roues de distribution.
