ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided for individually feeding blanks from a source of blanks to a point of use. The apparatus includes a feeding apparatus which has a portion thereof engageable with a side wall blank contained in the stack and feed same onto a conveyor and then to a second transfer mechanism which conveys the side wall blank to a point of use. The feeding apparatus is comprised of a mechanism which basically is comprised of a four-link arm arrangement wherein a throat-forming member is maintained in a substantially vertical plane throughout pivoting movement of the arm arrangement thereby maintaining a side wall blank in a feed position. An elevator means is also provided which has a storage magazine and is positioned below the feeding apparatus. The elevator means includes a pair of elevators which work jointly so the elevator means can be reloaded while the feeding apparatus is still running without requiring a shutdown of the equipment to fill the magazine.
