Abstract:
A document extraction device comprising:a longitudinal body portion having surfaces defining an extraction aperture, ends defining an opening in the extraction aperture, and surfaces defining a channel wherein the channel extends to each end; and a tension member disposed within the channel and extending across the opening in the extraction aperture; said body portion having a securing member for placing the tension member under a desired tension such that the extraction device provides a mechanism for extracting wadded documents from a stationary track of a document processor without damaging the track wherein the body portion includes: a first half having a first pair of longitudinal members and a first step region, the first step region having first external surfaces defining a first portion of the channel; a second half having a second pair of longitudinal members and a second step region, the second step region having second external surfaces defining a second portion of the channel; and an adhesive for coupling the first half to the second half such that internal surfaces of the longitudinal members define the extraction aperture.
