Abstract
A continuous paper feeder for supplying sheets of paper to a receiving machine from a top of a first stack of paper while being resupplied to a bottom of the first stack of paper with sheets of paper from a top of a second stack of paper. A concave paper hopper maintains a generally constant angle of incidence of a leading edge of sheets of paper from the top of the first stack of paper to a picker of the receiving machine. Sheet feed belts transfer paper from the top of the second stack of paper to the bottom of the first stack of paper while sheets of paper are continually removed from the top of the first stack to the receiving machine by the picker.
