Abstract

Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Vorrichtung (2, 36, 66, 78) zum Abstützen eines Stapels (40) von aufrecht stehenden, flachen Gegenständen, umfassend ein Stützmittel (4, 44, 46, 68, 76) mit Kontaktstellen (24, 60, 62, 70) zur Anlage an einer der Flachseiten eines äußeren der in Stapelrichtung (28) gestapelten Gegenstände des Stapels (40).The invention relates to a device (2, 36, 66, 78) for supporting a stack (40) of upright, flat objects, comprising a support means (4, 44, 46, 68, 76) with contact points (24, 60 , 62, 70) for abutment with one of the flat sides of an outer object of the stack (40) stacked in the stacking direction (28).

Es wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Kontaktstellen (24, 60, 62, 70) in Stapelrichtung (28) unterschiedlich weit zum Stapel (40) ragen. Den Gegenständen kann eine Krümmung aufgeprägt werden, die einem Herüberhängen der Gegenstände über das Stützmittel (4, 44, 46, 68, 76) entgegenwirkt.

Figure imgaf001
It is proposed that the contact points (24, 60, 62, 70) project in the stacking direction (28) at different distances from the stack (40). The objects can be impressed with a curvature which counteracts overhanging the objects via the support means (4, 44, 46, 68, 76).
