Abstract
A flat substrate (3) for surface structure is insertable, in each case, in positions where the processing means (5) are moved into positions outside of the path of the substrate, in particular for print and/or read means (6, 7) in a device for the transport of flat substrates (3) in office machines, in particular for records in record-processing apparatus (1). A pull-in shaft (8) or feed throat includes guide means which form, in transport direction (4), one or several successive, cross-running openings (19) for the processing means (5) movable cross to the transport direction (4). The openings (19) are closable, at least in part, by way of elastic coverings (24, 25) for achieving an interference-free pull-in of damaged and/or irregular substrates (3) or, respectively, records. The coverings (24, 25) form in transport direction (4), in each case, insert funnels (26) for the substrate (3) and, in case of cross motions of the processing means (5), the respective elastic covering (24, 25) is movable by the moved processing means (5) from the functioning position, assumed in the initial state during the moving by of the processing means (5), temporarily into another functioning position.
