ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an apparatus for separating a single sheet from a stack of several sheets having the same non-round shape and the same size. The apparatus comprises a container with a recess for holding the stack, a base located underneath the container having a dispensing opening, a separating element with an aperture for receiving the bottom sheet which is to be separated from the stack. The separating element is located between the container and the base and is essentially a flat disc, the thickness of which is smaller than the thickness of a single sheet of the stack. Structure is provided for the container relative to the separating element on an imaginary axis passing through the recess of the container. The dispensing opening of the base and the aperture of the separating element are capable of separating each bottom sheet from the stack and conveying the separated sheet into the dispensing opening of the base. The recess of the container and the aperture of the separating element conform essentially in shape and size to one another and are of the same shape and size of the sheets of the stack when viewed in the direction of the imaginary axis. The apparatus may be provided with at least one support element which is capable of supporting the bottom sheet of the stack and/or with a marking device for applying marks to the bottom sheet as it is separated and dispensed.
