<p>A device for dividing a product such as a newspaper into two substantially equal portions, the device including a pocket assembly which receives the newspaper (fold down) when open. The pocket then closes and a retainer, at one corner of one pocket wall, prevents the extended portion of the newspaper from curling. A divider splits the newspaper into two portions, and the retainer then moves to a position wherein one of the portions is held between the retainer and the adjacent pocket wall. The pocket assembly is tilted so that the other portion of the newspaper falls away from the first portion as the pocket is opened. At the same time, the divider withdraws and another retainer, at the opposite corner from the first retainer, holds the corresponding corner of the first portion against the pocket wall. <IMAGE></p> |
