  • Feeder for microfilm jacket printer
    Patent number: 6644648
    Abstract: A feeder apparatus for feeding microfilm jackets to a printer, one at a time from a stack of jackets. The feeder apparatus comprises a tray-like housing, a weight assembly and a brake assembly. The weight assembly includes a pair of pivotally mounted weights which rest on the stack of jackets to create friction between the bottom jacket and a printer feed roller. The brake assembly is used to hold back all but the bottom jacket, as the bottom jacket is transported by the printer feed roller.
