Abstract
A feed device for advancing a web into a processing station which acts on the web while the web is in a standstill position. The feeding device includes a first drive roller around which a second swivel roller oscillates between an upstream and downstream position to create a loop to take up the web during a dwell in the movement of the web through the processing station. The swivel roller is driven at the same speed as the drive roller by an arrangement of drive pinion and a counterweight is also rotated at the same rate by a gear arrangement. The counterweight is mounted on a lever which will oscillate in an opposite direction to the movement of the swivel roller so that the moment of inertias are balanced during operation of the device and the torque on the drive for the rollers is balanced.
