Abstract (en)

A form feeding tractor feeds blank paper forms engaged with the pins (4) of a tractor belt (7) as it is held between the tractor chassis (9) and a cover (13) pivotably supported thereon. It has a drive sprocket (8) rotatably supported adjacent one end of the tractor chassis (9) and a belt guidance portion provided on the opposite end of the tractor chassis. The tractor belt (7) extends about the drive sprocket (8) and the belt guidance portion. A belt deflecting element is provided on the tractor chassis opposite the tractor cover and deflects the belt upwardly towards the cover to reduce the surface friction of the belt on the belt guidance portion. <IMAGE>
