A device for rapidly feeding sheet inserts to a pusher conveyor of a packaging machine having upstream of the device a feeder for feeding sheet inserts one after another in a direction essentially perpendicular to the pusher conveyor, including at least one rotary disc provided with at least one element for gripping the sheet insert, the at least one gripping element being operable selectively to lock the sheet insert onto the disc and drag the sheet insert from a position aligned with the insert feeder to an advanced position on the pusher conveyor by causing the sheet insert to undergo a rototranslational movement, the relative drive mechanism for the disc, for the sheet insert feeder and for the pusher conveyor being correlated in their movement.
