Abstract
A scalloped stream of paper sheets is intermittently transported from a feeding unit to a reservoir wherein one portion of a flexible elastic band convolutes the sheets around a core. The sheets are then transported over a switchover device and onto another portion of the band which convolutes the sheets around a hub while the core pays out the one portion of the band. If the sheets are needed at one or more consuming stations, the hub pays out the other portion of the band and the switchover device directs successive sheets from the other portion of the band to a removing unit. The switchover device and the one portion of the band define a first station where the sheets arriving from the feeding unit reach the one portion of the band and where the sheets leave the one portion of the band on their way to the other portion of the band. The other portion of the band and the switchover device define a second transfer station. The elasticity of the band is such that its length is increased by at least 0.1% in response to the application of a tensional stress of at least 0.25 kg/mm.sup.2 .
