Abstract (en)

A system for dispensing flat, flexible members (4) from the delivery end of a magazine (2), from which an edge portion of the foremost member (4) is bent outwardly by means of a guided suction head (14) and then brought into engagement with a pair of rollers (34,40), which draw the member out of the magazine. The edge portion is bent out into a recess (42) in the roller (40) and is kept unengaged by the rollers until the released suction head (14) is moved away from the following moving path of the edge portion when engaged by the rollers. Hereby the suction head (14) may be rapidly returned to the next foremost member, without waiting for the first member to be drawn out and without being scraped along the member surface.
