摘要:
A method and mechanism are provided for controlling the movement of a belt (36). The arrangement may have a moveable member which is coupled to an adjustable member (34). The members are coupled such that when the moveable member is moved in a first direction the adjustable member (34) is move in a first direction and when the moveable member is moved in a second direction the adjustable member (34) is moved in a second direction. A belt (36) is coupled to the movable member. Movement of the belt (36) in a first direction moves the moveable member in the first direction and movement of said belt in a second direction moves the moveable member in the second direction. A belt tensioner mechanism (48) is connected to the belt (36) so that when the belt (36) moves in the first direction a biasing force is created that drives said belt (36) to move a controlled amount in the second direction when movement of the belt (36) in the first direction is stopped. The arrangement may be employed with a materials feed tray. Side guides for the tray are automatically set correctly for proper feeding from the tray without jamming, skew or off set of the materials.
