They firstly comprise a lower roller driven in rotation, arranged transversely to the direction of movement of a sheet, and this close to a lateral stop located on the left side of the table, as also seen according to the direction of movement of the sheet. the sheet, side usually called the driver's side. These devices then include an upper roller mounted vertically to the roller, at the end of an arm which, at rest, is in the high position. This arm is regularly lowered each time a flat element arrives against the front cleats, so that the upper roller clamps this flat element against the motorized lower roller which generates, by pulling on this element, a corrective displacement up to side cleat.
  • the document EP 0669274 describes a device for lateral positioning of a flat element in a feed table, having elements for gripping the element flat (by pulling or pushing) with extended surfaces. In this way, it is desired to avoid damaging the gripping surfaces of the flat element.

  • the main lever 110 has been adjusted so that, in the down position of the first end 112, there is a slight back pressure exerted by the support roller 114 on the sheet 20 'which is thicker than the sheet 20 of Figs. 1 and 2 .
  • the lateral positioning device 100 operates according to a second configuration shown in the Figs. 3 and 4 .
  • this packaging element 20' is not very dense, its surface is easily marked with an imprint under pressure. of a pebble.
  • this packaging element 20 ′ contains one or more layers of corrugated cardboard.
  • this packaging element 20 ' has a thickness e' greater than the thickness e of the sheet 20 shown in the Figs. 1 and 2 .
  • This thickness e ' corresponds to a distance d' between the metal target 135 and the detection head 141.
  • the support roller 114 is raised relative to its position of the first configuration so as not to be able to touch the surface. top of the sheet 20 'when the first end 112 of the main lever 110 is lowered. To compensate for this rise of the support roller 114, and still allow the detector roller 134 to descend until it reaches the upper surface of the sheet 20 ', the height position of the pin 116 has also been shifted by rotating its 180 °. support 117 around a horizontal axis parallel to the axis of rotation of the feed wheel 102.
  • the lateral margin stop acts as a pusher element 121 and is disposed just above the shelf 101 and on the other side of the feed wheel 102 with respect to the support roller 134.
  • This pusher element 121 has a thrust face against which the lateral edge of the sheet 20 'bears. It is the pusher 121 which performs a horizontal translational movement (from left to right on the Figs. 3 and 4 ) from a retracted position visible on the Figs. 3 and 4 , to an advanced position adjusted so that at the end of the stroke, the sheet 20 'is disposed laterally in the desired position.
  • the lateral positioning device 100 operates in pusher mode, since the wedging in the desired lateral position of the sheet 20 'is achieved by pushing this packaging element 20', passing from the retracted position to the advanced position of the pusher 121, until it is brought into the lateral position of this packaging element 20 'corresponding to the end of travel (advanced position) of the pusher 121.
  • the pusher 121 is locked in the forward position and serves as a stopper for the shooter.
  • An adjustment screw 150 allows, by its rotation, to raise or lower an adjustment support 152 having a bevelled lower edge which cooperates with a bevelled upper edge of the block forming both the pusher and the lateral margin stop 121.
  • the lowering the adjustment support 152 causes the pusher 121 to move forward in horizontal translation, to the right on the Figs. 6 and 7 .
  • the pusher 121 is integral with the slide 155, itself integral with the cam roller 156 (see Fig. 6 ).
  • the position of Figs. 6 and 7 corresponds to the aforementioned second configuration of the lateral positioning device: in this case, the cam roller 156 is housed in a space for receiving the cam 160, which is driven in a permanent cyclic movement, in a position allowing a movement of go and comes between the right and the left of the slide 155. It is this forward movement which allows the pusher 121 to perform the positioning by pushing the sheet 20 '.
  • the adjustment support 152 is lowered by means of the adjustment screw 150, whereby the pusher 121 advances in the direction of the right in a position which remains in the space for receiving the cam 160. , but this time the pusher 121 is no longer able to follow the movement of the cam 160 which rotates in a vacuum in the direction since the cam 160 no longer drives the pusher 121.
  • the introduction station 10 which presents the lateral positioning device 100 which has just been described preferably comprises a complementary lateral positioning device located on the other side, in the same axial position as the lateral positioning device 100.
  • the complementary lateral positioning device is on the side opposite to the driver.
  • the complementary lateral positioning device is identical to the lateral positioning device 100, except the adaptation to the side opposite the driver by modifying the structure of the lateral positioning device 100 by symmetry with respect to the median vertical plane of the shelf 101.
  • the complementary lateral positioning device does not include the detector lever 130 and all the elements of the system for detecting the presence of two superimposed plate elements making it possible to check the thickness of the sheet 20 or 20. '.
