<p>A fly stripping mechanism (10) for stripping sheet-like objects such as printed material from a rotating fly assembly (13) having a plurality of fly pockets (19). A cam (23) adjacent the fly assembly (13) remains stationary as the fly assembly (13) rotates. A lever (38) is disposed adjacent each fly pocket (19) and is also pivotally mounted to the fly assembly (13). A cam follower (53) is connected to each lever (38). As the fly assembly (13) rotates, the cam follower (53) follows the contour of the cam (23). The contour of the cam (23) slows the rotation of the cam followers (53) relative to the rotational speed of the fly assembly (13). The slowed rotation of the cam followers (53) in turn causes an end portion (41) of the lever (38) to move from a position adjacent a rearward portion of the fly pocket (19) toward a forward portion of the fly pocket (19), thereby ejecting printed material from the fly pocket (19).</p> |
