The invention relates to a device (1) for separating individual flat, bendable objects (2) from the underside of a stack (30) of such objects (2). The device comprises a stacking space (31) having a support area (12), a roller arrangement (9) which supports the stack (30) in the support area (12) from below, and a separating and holding means (4, 5) for supporting from below Separating the articles (2) from the underside of the stack (30). The rollers (9) of the roller assembly are guided along an orbit (11) guided in the support region (12) below the stack (30) over movable. The device (1) further comprises a sub-setting device (32) with a sub-setting means (33) for positioning the sub-setting means (33) in a holding position between the stack (30) and the rollers (9) of the roller assembly.
