ABSTRACT:
A roller guide system which includes at least a pair of rollers for feeding strips of material between predetermined maximum and minimum thicknesses therebetween is rotatably driven by means of a gear train. The rollers are rotatably mounted on upper and lower housing frames respectively for rotation about first and second parallel axes. The upper frame is slidably mounted on the lower frame for vertical movement relative thereto. Each of the rollers has a spur gear attached thereto for rotation along with its associated roller about said first and second axes, respectively, these gears being interconnected by intercoupling gearing. The center of the gear attached to the roller mounted on the upper frame is at the same level as the center of the gear which drives this gear when feeding strips of an intermediate thickness between said maximum and minimum thicknesses. The vertical spacing between the rollers automatically adjusts in response to the thicknesses of the strips of material fed therebetween by virtue of slideable vertical motion between the frames, the gears being minimally unmeshed with such motion.
