ABSTRACT:
A paper feed system suitable for use with a portion control machine to provide paper sheets for separating portions, including a paper hopper mountable to a portion control machine and adapted to receive and temporarily retain a stack of paper sheets. The paper hopper has an open end having a front edge spaced opposite from a back edge and defining a ready position where a paper sheet lies in a first plane to be dispensed. The paper feed system further includes a paper support having a length to width ratio of 10 to 1 or greater. The paper support is mounted adjacent the open end of the paper hopper blocking the free exit of paper sheets therefrom, with the support extending from a central location on the back edge partially to a central location on the front edge. An upper surface of the support is substantially parallel with the first plane and is adjacent the first plane for retention of a paper sheet in the ready position. The paper feed system further includes a pair of paper support tabs mounted adjacent the central location on the front edge but spaced laterally from the paper support. The paper support tabs extend partially into the open end blocking the free exit of paper sheets therefrom and have an upper surface substantially parallel with the first plane and adjacent the first plane for retention of a central portion of a leading edge of a paper sheet in the ready position.
