Abstract (en)
[origin: US5002267A] The invention relates to an apparatus for automatic feeding of one document at a time to a document processing machine. The apparatus (10) includes a movable horizontal turntable (12) on which bins (C1, C2, . . . , C8) are affixed, each containing a stack of documents. A drive device (15, 16, 28) controls the displacement of the turntable in order to move a preselected bin into an unloading position (90), facing the processing machine (11). The turntable is provided with bin identification (ME1, ME2, . . . , ME8), and the drive device is controlled by a control circuit (91) that excites the drive device in such a way that the displacement of the turntable to move a preselected bin into the position (90) is effected by the smallest possible rotation. The invention is applicable to sheet feeding to a printing machine.
