Abstract
A document feeding mechanism which may be used in an automatic line finding device for a business machine which includes an entrance throat for inserting sheet-like documents therein. The mechanism includes an endless belt and a document engaging structure which are mounted on opposed sides of the entrance throat of the machine. The document engaging structure has first and second rollers thereon and an abutment member which is positioned in the throat to enable a document which is manually inserted in the throat to abut thereagainst and to be initially located thereby. An actuating linkage is used to pivot the document engaging structure so as to cause the first roller to press the document against the endless belt and grip it, and thereafter, the abutment member is moved out of the entrance throat as the second roller is simultaneously moved towards the endless belt to also grip the document therebetween. Thereafter, the endless belt is driven under the control of the line finding device to automatically locate a line on the document with reference to the associated print head of the business machine.
