Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2787098A1] The invention concerns a device for supplying a work station with a strip flexible material (2) unwound from a reel (1) comprising a transfer plate (4), driven in a translation motion with longitudinal horizontal axis, by displacing means between a first position for loading the material strip (2) and a second so-called working position, said transfer plate (4) including first means for immobilising the strip on said plate when the latter is moving from the loading position to the working position. The invention is characterised in that the transfer plate (4) is capable of supporting on its surface the material strip (2), and the work station (6) comprises second blocking means for retaining the free end of the strip, such that the transfer plate (4) return travel from the work position to the loading position generates, by the friction of the strip (2) on said plate, forces tending to spread the part of the strip associated with the work station (6).
