ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for separating, conveying and grouping flat items includes a supply chute for advancing the items in a face-to-face orientation in a series of indeterminate length; a conveying track adjoining the supply chute for receiving items therefrom; a grouping device disposed on the conveying track for forming a group of vertically stacked items of predetermined number; and a conveyor for advancing the items on the conveying track. The conveyor has sequentially spaced item pushers each advancing the items to the grouping device from the supply chute. Some of the item pushers are placed in an inoperative state at the grouping device to allow items to remain therein and be stacked to attain an item group having the predetermined number of items.
