Abstract:

The present invention relates to a paper feeding mechanism primarily for printing presses, or the like machines, comprising a left and right interlocking grill, which supports the stack of paper which is fed to the press. The adjustable grill rests on a center base support and the press side support pieces. The grill is adjustable in a horizontal direction depending on the width of the paper, in conjunction with the left and right hand paper pile support guides. The paper feeding mechanism also comprises an adjusting rear paper pile feeding guide adapted to press against the rear of the paper pile, holding it against the front feeder plate of the press. As the paper pile rises an inverted V-shaped feed guide gradually opens allowing the paper to keep rising until all sheets are fed into the press.
