Abstract
A device that mechanically separates continuous edge tied automated ticket and boarding pass (ATB) coupons (22) by pulling the coupon to coupon perforations past a stationary tapered edge (50). The existing coupon transport drive provides the energy for coupon separation. Compared to existing methods, this design is low cost, quiet, and forgiving of coupon perforation registration.
