Abstract (en)

An apparatus feeds paper inserts or other flat products from one area to another. The apparatus is particularly useful for use with newspaper insert machines. A first rotating disk (204,205) presses against a first roller (210), and a second rotating disk (250) presses against a second roller (260). Each roller is arranged to rotate about an axis of rotation that is movable with respect its opposing disk. Moving each roller toward its opposing disk permits thin products to be fed through the apparatus, and moving each roller away from its associated disk permits thick products to be fed through the apparatus.
