Abstract
A master processing apparatus for use with a pair of removable feed rolls each carrying a supply of stock material to be unwound includes a frame including first and second frame portions movably connected for movement relative to one another between open and closed positions. The first frame portion removably mounts the feed rolls. One of a pair of cooperating pressure applying structures is mounted on the first frame portion and the other is mounted on the second frame portion. A guide structure is provided on the first frame portion. When the frame portions are in the open position, mounting the feed rolls causes the guide structure to urge the end portions of the stock materials into a position whereat the cooperating structures automatically engage the end portions therebetween in the pressure applying engagement upon movement of the frame portions to the closed position.
