Abstract

The invention relates to a stacking device for incoming sheets, comprising a receiving plane (21), a rotatably arranged element (22), comprising a slot (26) at its circumferential edge for accepting at least a portion of a sheet to be stacked, where, in a first rotation zone (I), the rotatably arranged element may accept the sheet to be stacked and, in a second rotation zone (II), the accepted sheet is conveyed onto the receiving plane, drive mechanisms for driving the rotatably arranged element, a stop (30), a closed-loop shaped friction element (28) mounted at the circumferential edge of the rotatably arranged element, which, in operation, transfers a force onto the upper side of the sheet emerging from the slot during at least part of one revolution of the rotatably arranged element, this force having a component directed towards the stop, characterised in that the closed-loop shaped friction element has been positioned such that, in operation, it does not obstruct the movement of a sheet whilst the latter is accepted into the slot in the first rotation zone.
