<p>A feed unit having a storage station (11) in which a plurality of trays (9) each carrying a plurality of cassette rows (10) disposed consecutively in side by side relation is manually stacked. A first pusher mechanism (18) moves the lowermost tray (9) in the stack (12) along a slide track (14), towards a linear feeder (17). An abutment wall (23) stops the movement of trays (9) along the slide track (14) when a cassette row (10) reaches a predetermined loading position, so that it is picked up by a transport arm (24) that will deposit it on the linear feeder (17). A third pusher mechanism (40) picks up the individual cassettes (2) from the linear feeder (17) and sends them to an output conveyor (39). <IMAGE></p> |
