DEFINITION

Classification: 271/101

(under subclass 100) Device provided with at least one component that is moved from a position outside the stack to a position between the bent portion of the lowermost sheet of the stack and the undisturbed portion of the next-to-lowermost sheet of the stack, thereby to hold the undisturbed residue of the stack against feeding movement during separation of the lowermost sheet from the stack.

(1) Note. Included in this subclass are some devices wherein the stack is moved in a direction parallel to the plane of the sheets thereof as the lowermost sheet is separated therefrom. The relative movement between support segment and remainder of stack has been considered sufficient for placement herein.
