Abstract
A device for supplying a film to a packaging machine has a gripper for gripping the film and a transporting mechanism for not only moving the gripper between a film feeder of the packaging machine, which receives the film from the gripper and takes it to a packaging station for using it to wrap up a product, and a retracted position distal from the film feeder, but also keeping the gripper retracted while the film feeder carries the film to the packaging station.
