Abstract: A glasses frame carrier for a reproducing machine, of the type comprising a base plate (1), two parallel strips (8, 9) slidably mounted on the base plate are relatively movable toward and away from each other, and a device for centering the glasses frame between the two strips. The strips are respectively fixed to opposed parallel portions of a cable (16) forming a loop around two spaced-apart pulleys, one pulley (14) constituting a cable-driving element (16) and including a braking device (21, 23, 24) which is adjustable and constituted by an elastic element (23) which biases the pulley (14) in contact with a friction element (21).
