Abstract: A device for supplying a machine working on a web of material in a stopped position particularly for a flat cutting press and in the vicinity of an intake roller and downstream thereof, in the direction of advance of the web, the device includes an oscillating roller. This roller is mounted for rotation on a support adapted to oscillate about the axis of the intake roller. The oscillating roller is driven in rotation on itself from the intake roller, via a transmission mechanism in such a manner that the peripheral speed of the oscillating roller is identical to that of the web of material winding around part of the periphery of this oscillating roller. A mechanism is provided for provoking a movement of oscillation of the support and of the roller that is bears.

Abstract: A machine for receiving and stacking blanks of cardboard or like material, of variable shape and format, cut out successively from a continuous web by a cutting-out apparatus located upstream of the machine, supplied in "scales" on an endless conveyor belt, overlapping one another, comprises a device for deviating the blanks through at least 90.degree.. This device comprises a drum of horizontal and transverse axis around which pass mobile endless belts extending up to a stacking stop, and passing around a motorized drive roller and guide rollers. At least one of the guide rollers is borne by a chassis mounted to pivot about the drum, so that the pivoting chassis may occupy two positions, namely a first horizontal position and a second vertical position.
