Abstract

A machine for feeding inserts, for example, newspaper advertisements, to a device which separates or orients the inserts into a shinglelike arrangement and delivers them to a device which inserts them into the main portion of the newspaper. An oscillating or vibrating plate is utilized which moves into and out of the flow path of the inserts to strike the inserts from a direction which is perpendicular to the path of movement thereof to gradually orient the inserts as they move along a conveyor belt toward the separating device. A diaphragm plate effects the proper separation of the inserts prior to their delivery to the device which effects an insertion of the insert into the main portion of the newspaper.
