摘要

A blank feed unit (1) wherein a store (3) houses a stack (4), from which blanks (2) are withdrawn successively along a given path (14) by a conveyor roller (15) located at the outlet (11) of the store (3), contacting the bollom end of the stack (4), (14), and a brake element (16) located at the outlet (11) and on the opposite side of the path (14) in relation to the conveyor roller (15). The brake element 16 is rotated at a speed lower than that of the conveyor roller 15 to separate overlapping blanks. A detector 30 is provided which provides input to a controller 29 to control the speed of the conveyor rollers 44 and 15 with respect to the downstream conveyor 41 to maintain the correct spacing between blanks. <IMAGE>
