Abstract
An apparatus advances and registers web material relative to a cutting mechanism. The cutting mechanism cuts the web material transverse to the direction of material advance. The apparatus comprises a guide for guiding the web material to the cutting mechanism. A rotating cylinder is spaced from the cutting mechanism and adjacent the guide. Projecting elements are carried on the rotating cylinder and spaced circumferentially on the rotating cylinder a distance substantially equal to the distance between cut lines in the web material. The projecting elements have a surface portion which engages at least a portion of the web material adjacent the cut line and forces a portion of the web material out of the plane of the web material. The projecting elements further have a surface portion for engaging the web material and pushing the web material through the guide and to the cutting mechanism.
