ABSTRACT:
To permit adjustment of the width of storage cassettes (1) adapted to hold sheet holding elements (2, 2'), while the cassettes are being moved along a transport path, the cassettes (1) formed of two facing L-shaped elements (1', 1") connected together by a central bolt-and-nut connection (13), are supported on a support carriage (5) moving in the predetermined path. A pair of cassette holders, including electromagnets (28, 37), and supported on a platform moving at the same speed as the cassette support, engage the L-shaped legs, permitting release of the bolt-and-nut connection (13) by a suitable operating element (38, 39) attached to said platform, then re-positioning of the holders to space the L-shaped halves at a desired distance, and re-tightening of the bolt-and-nut connection, all while the platform and the support are moving. The holders are then disengaged, permitting return of the platform to a starting position for re-positioning a next cassette, while the re-positioned or re-dimensioned cassette continues to move in its moving path.
