DEFINITION

Classification: 271/117

(under subclass 109) Device wherein the sheet-removing means is mounted on structure that permits the position of said means to be varied with respect to the stack of sheets or permits said means to be moved away from the stack, or wherein the stack of sheets is mounted on structure that permits the stack to be moved away from the sheet-removing

means.

This subclass (117) provides for a device wherein the stack of sheets may be moved away from the separator, usually for the purpose of replenishing the stack. In this subclass will also be found a device wherein the separation of sheets from a stack is stopped at will by retracting the stack from the separator.
