Abstract
A stripping and sheet transfer roller assembly particularly constructed for use in sheet film processors and which includes a pair of cylindrical rollers positioned in closely spaced relation for driving individual sheets of film through a dryer and thereafter transfer the same laterally while in substantially upright position into a receiving bin disposed in close association to said rollers, one roller having a plurality of spaced apart soft compressible stripping and transfer elements attached in radially extending relation to the periphery of the rollers and are radially compressed when said sheet passes between said pair of rollers and which expand as said elements rotate out of contact with said sheet, the expansion of said elements stripping the sheet from the stripping roller, said expanded elements then engaging the trailing edge of each stripped sheet to transport said edge laterally and deliver the sheets into said bin in substantially upstanding position in said bin.
