Abstract: The invention relates to a device for feeding printing plates 33 and transporting them onto an exposure table 1, with the aid of rollers 10, 10', 10" . . . , 11, which are arranged in pairs and are fastened, by means of blocks 5, 6 on two roller rails 4, 4'. The roller rails 4, 4' are located at both sides of the exposure table 1, in the transport direction. The transport rollers 10 which are positioned first in the transport direction of the printing plate 33 are installed on pivoting blocks 5, which are pivoted outwardly before the printing plate 33 is deposited and, after the printing plate 33 has been deposited, are swung into contact, in order to take over the roller-transport, together with the remaining rollers. As soon as the printing plate 33 has reached its exposure position, the roller rails 4, 4' are, in their entirety, swung away from the exposure table 1, parallel to themselves, thus enabling the printing plate 33 to be exposed out to its outer edge without hindrance.
