Abstract
A media velocity decoupling device is part of a rotary nip diverter assembly and includes a one-way clutch connected to a drive roller of a rotary nip diverter gate. The one-way clutched drive roller allows for realignment of the rotary nip diverter gate during media transfer to a downstream nip while the media is captured in both the rotary nip diverter gate and the downstream nip without media slippage or stretching occurring.
