Abstract
Apparatus is disclosed for pulling webs of random lengths from respective cartridges. Each web has an end portion which protrudes from its respective cartridge. The cartridges are advanced by an endless belt cartridge conveyor in a first direction while the web end portions are sandwiched between a pair of endless belt conveyors and advanced in a second direction at an acute angle with respect to the first direction. Due to such divergent advancement of the cartridges and the web end portions, the webs are pulled from the cartridges. A cutting wheel is provided to cut the web after being pulled from the cartridges.
