The strips to be fed to a cutting line are positioned side by side on a supporting table. Above the table there is arranged a structure which is movable transversally with respect to the feeding direction of the strips. On the underside of the structure there are provided two pusher carriers, in the form of elongated bars carrying a plurality of pushers intended to engage the strips on the table. Each pusher carrier is movable, independently with respect to the other one, towards and away from the cutting line. The pusher carriers can be moved transversally with respect to the feeding direction, so that each one of the pusher carriers can selectively engage a predetermined number of strips. Thereafter, the pusher carriers are moved towards the cutting line independently the one from the other, with consequent variations of the amount of feed of the strips, which will eventually result into obtaining panels of different sizes from the different strips.
An apparatus for feeding strips of panels to a panel cutting and sizing machine, in which the strips of panels are arranged the one adjacent to the other side by side, and the adjacent sides are parallel to the feeding direction, the said strips being fed to a cutting device which cuts the strips along a cutting line which is arranged transversally with respect to the said feeding direction, said apparatus comprising:
