Title: Vibratory feed initiating device for a machine for feeding articles shingle-fashion

Abstract: A machine for feeding flat articles from an end of a stack. The stack of articles is advanced to bring an end article in the stack to a pick-off station where a belt engages the end article and articles adjacent the end article to feed the articles shingle-fashion over a discriminator. As the articles approach the end of the stack, a vibrating plate engages edges of the articles to free each article from articles on opposite sides thereof.
