It already leans against in the bag, resulting stack against the one of the bag walls and is optionally pressed by suitable means to this wall, so that the preparingde Product can be safely and precisely added to the stack.
  • Publication EP-0908408 proposes such gathering bags, when the stack is finished formed therein, during a continuous further promotion open bottom, allowing the stack to fall into a lower pocket by gravity be moved, which lower bag connects to the gathering bag.
  • the walls of the lower pockets are so movable that in such a Bag fallen pile can be clamped between these walls, so that when opening this bag, the bottom of the stack, or all lower edges the flat objects collected in the stack become freely accessible, while the pile is held in the bag.
