Abstract
The method and apparatus in a packaging machine for transferring leaflets to spaced clamps on a first conveyor from a second conveyor in which leaflets are deposited on the second conveyor in synchronism with clamps on the second conveyor so that a leaflet is deposited on the first conveyor, arrives at a point of convergence between the first and second conveyors just behind its respective clamp which is in an open position and then travels along the same path as the clamp at a greater speed than the clamp until the leaflet is positioned within the jaws of the clamp after which time the jaws are closed to clamp the leaflet.
