Zusammenfassung:Apparatus for stacking sheet-like articles, wherein a moving belt conveys the articles in generally shingled relation over a platform to a backstop. The backstop is disposed at the rear of the platform for successively guiding such conveyed articles into an orientation stacked substantially on edge across the moving belt. A slot in the platform is disposed forward of the backstop at a location beneath the moving belt for receiving successive portions of the belt should such portions be respectively urged into the slot by the weight of stacked articles. Accordingly, the friction force exerted on a stack of articles by the belt moving in contact therewith will be locally reduced where movement of the belt between the stack and the platform is facilitated by means of the slot.
