Abstract
A feeding system for manufacturing machines consuming paper supplied in a continuous strip employs a holding and joining device for holding the leading edge of a reserve strip in a buckle concave to a cutting knife. The reserve strip is contacted with the strip being supplied and the cutting knife severs the strip being supplied by passing therethrough. The reserve strip remains unsevered because the knife travels in the buckle.
