A method for forming sheet stacks in a dispensing region of a sheet processing apparatus, involves: a) stacking sheets by a stacker wheel onto a sheet stack located on a lifting platform, b) introducing a deposition platform into the dispensing region, c) stacking further sheets by the stacker wheel onto the deposition platform arranged underneath the stacker wheel, d) introducing a gripping device into the dispensing region to take up, by the gripping device, the sheet stack formed on the lifting platform, e) removing the sheet stack formed on the lifting platform from the dispensing region, and, after the removal of the sheet stack, f) raising the lifting platform up to the deposition platform, and g) transferring the further sheet stack formed on the deposition platform onto the lifting platform and moving the deposition platform away out of the dispensing region.

A filling apparatus and to a method are for filling containers with document-of-value stacks, and to a document-of-value processing apparatus. The filling apparatus is designed for filling containers with document-of-value stacks, for example document-of-value stacks that are set down by a document-of-value processing machine in a delivery region of the document-of-value processing machine. The filling apparatus has a feed interface, a delivery interface and a transport path along which the containers can be transported from the feed interface to the delivery interface, and a filling region in which in each case one container that has been fed to the filling apparatus can be positioned in order to be filled with document-of-value stacks by means of a gripping device.

A scanner with the automatic expanding output tray includes a mechanical body, a first output tray, a second output tray, an extending output tray, an extending torsion spring, a limiting element and a unidirectional actuator. The first output tray has a starting end pivotally connected to a rear of the mechanical body, and a connecting end. The second output tray has a pivoting end pivoted at the connecting end, and a terminal end. The extending output tray is pivotally connected to the second output tray. The extending torsion spring is mounted between the extending output tray and the second output tray. The limiting element is pivotally connected to the second output tray. The unidirectional actuator is mounted between the limiting element and the first output tray.

A manufacture of an electrode assembly in which first electrodes and second electrodes are alternately arranged between folded separators is described. The electrodes are stacked and stored in a magazine unit, and the plurality of electrodes are stored in a stacked manner. By disposing a stuck-electrodes prevention sheet between electrodes, the electrodes can be easily separated without sticking, and the stuck-electrodes prevention sheet removed after the electrodes are separated can be recycled.
