Abstract
A feed mechanism for longitudinally moving an elongated member, such as a channel-shaped extrusion and the like, along a support table beneath a filling nozzle or through a cutting apparatus, comprising a pair of opposed E-shaped frames, each having its central leg pivotally connected to the table and each having a vertically axised roller mounted upon the free ends of each of its outer legs. The legs of one frame are axially aligned with the legs of the opposite frame so that the rollers form opposing pairs, with one roller of each pair being power driven. The central legs are formed of a hydraulic cylinder and piston rod so that they are longitudinally adjustable for thereby moving the rollers towards and away from each other for bearing against opposite sides of the elongated member and moving the elongated member longitudinally therebetween.
