摘要

The machine is for extracting metal staples, clips, pins or the like from paper documents, such as cheques, invoices or other paper sheets or information carriers. Rollers (5,6) are provided for impairing or breaking the bond between the staples or the like and the paper. Magnetic separation devices (7,8) separate the staples from the paper. A conveyor (3) conveys the documents from a container (1) through the rollers (5,6) and the separation devices (7,8) to a collection tray (12). Documents which are found by detectors to be devoid of metal elements can be directly supplied to the tray (12) without having to pass through the part of the machine for drawing out staples. Various forms of magnetic separator roller with magnetic and non-magnetic section may be used.
