<p>There is disclosed apparatus for feeding sheet material (S) sequentially on demand to processing machinery having a take-up mechanism (12) comprising a feed table (10) having a gate (11) and upon which the sheets (S) may be stacked against the gate (11) which allows only the lowermost sheet (S) to pass therebeneath, a bed (13) of rollers (14) within the surface of the table (10) which may be rotatably driven to advance the lowermost sheet (S) beneath the gate (11) to the take-up mechanism (12) when forward drive to the rollers (14) is arrested and means to allow the rollers (14) to free-wheel once the lowermost sheet (S) is being advanced thereover by said take-up mechanism (12) and vacuum suction means (30) behind the rollers (14) to hold the next lowermost sheet (S) against the action of the free-wheeling rollers (14) after the sheet (S) being fed has passed under the gate (11).</p> |
