Abstract
A shuttle mechanism movable between initial and final positions for accurately, intermittently advancing a stretchable web containing spaced apart, encapsulated articles such as dental packets under a punch for cutting individual articles from the web. Front and rear claw tips enter succeeding sealed joints or grooves in the web in the initial position of the shuttle mechanism. While in this position, the rear claw is moved toward the front claw so that the pitch of the grooves is equal to the normal groove pitch of the web in its unstretched condition.
