Instruction sheet inserter for article boxing machine - has cam-operated grip to remove sheet from horizontal section of passage defined by two endless belts

摘要

Two continuously driven endless belts define a passage for sheets being fed to a boxing machine. A conveyor parallel to a horizontal portion of the passage supports uniformly distributed a compartments each with an associated grip. The belts are driven at a speed greater than that of the conveyor, the horizontal component of velocity along an inclined section of the passage being equal to that of the conveyor. A cam device actuates the grip to clamps the projecting portion of the sheets close to the end of the horizontal section of the passage.
