Abstract
A sheet gripper for a sheet-displacing apparatus such as a rotary printing machine has a pair of gripper elements whose faces are engageable with each other to grip the edge of a sheet being printed. At least one of the gripper elements is formed at its respective face of a relatively soft elastomeric material from whose surface extend hard fibers which are otherwise imbedded in the soft elastomeric material. The material may be a thermoplastic synthetic resin reinforced with glass fibers.
