Abstract: The disclosure is of a feed wheel assembly for applying a continuous motive force to a train of intermittently movable parts. The feed wheel assembly has a feed ring mounted on a continuously driven clutch ratchet wheel, the latter having alternate crests and recesses along its periphery. Spring-pressed followers on the ring engage the crests and recesses of the clutch ratchet wheel to provide a yieldable drive to the feed ring. The followers are spaced apart different distances than the crests so that when the drive slips, the followers pass over the crests successively rather than simultaneously.
