Abstract
Apparatus for feeding and transporting blanks of corrugated paperboard and the like is disclosed wherein a stack of blanks is received on a blank feeding station having a first belt-over-roller conveyor which cooperates with an angularly inclined control gate of a gate assembly to feed blanks from the bottom of the stack beneath the control gate and effect shingling of the blanks, whereafter the blanks are transported to a receiving station such as the feed hopper of a printing press or the like. The control gate is adjustable to vary the shingling relationship of the blanks fed from the bottom of the stack and has a low friction surface thereon facilitating optimum operation.
