ABSTRACT:
A sheet supply apparatus supplies a sheet such as an X-ray sheet film from a cassette to a recording device. The sheet supply apparatus has at least a pair of rollers for gripping and feeding a sheet, a feeding mechanism for feeding a sheet from a storage cassette and supplying the sheet along a feed path to the pair of rollers, a tilt correcting mechanism having for correcting the sheet out of a tilted condition with respect to a direction transverse to the feed path, and a position correcting mechanism for displacing the pair of rollers in the direction while the pair of rollers is gripping the sheet, to correct the sheet positionally with respect to the direction. The feeding mechanism has suction devices movable into the feed path for attracting the sheet under vacuum, and the tilt correcting mechanism has at least a pair of stoppers movable into the feed path for engaging a leading end of the sheet to correct the sheet out of the tilted condition. The sheet supply apparatus also has a drive mechanism for displacing the suction devices and the stoppers between the feed path and respective positions outside of the feed path.
