Abstract
A feed apparatus for intermittently feeding band-shaped material to a press has two feed rollers for advancing the material. An upper feed roller is bearing-mounted in a rocker for swivel-movement with a pivot bearing on a unidirectionally hydraulic cylinder into a high-lifted position enabling introduction of the material between the rollers. For lowering of the upper roller, the cylinder is rendered pressureless and a press spring pressed onto the material between the rollers. In this position, the pivot bearing can be fixed for automatically adjusting the feed apparatus to the thickness of the material.
