PURPOSE: To permit the sheets having a relatively large specific gravity and a large thickness to be taken-out one by one simply and certainly by transferring an absorption part in revolution and turning-up the piled sheets one by one from the upper most part.

CONSTITUTION: The articles 1 to be transferred are turned-up by absorbing one edge part of the piled articles 1 to be transferred by means of an attracting tool 2 and turning the absorption surface 3 of the attracting tool 2 by turning the attracting tool 2 along the locus shown by the broken line. In application, a proper number of attraction holes 4 are formed at a part of a hollow column 5 whose both edges are closed by discs 8 and 10, in the attracting tool 2, and the inside of the column 5 is connected, through a pipe 21, to a revolution selector valve 19 connected to an exhaust pipe 22. While, in the mechanism for revolving the attracting tool 2, the gears 9 and 11 which engage with racks 6 and 7 are installed at the both edges of the column 5, and a pushing rod 13 is installed onto the shaft 12 of the column 5 and connected to the driving shaft 20 of the revolution selector valve 19 through transmission mechanisms 14W18.
