elongated body 12 when the scrap ejector 10 is subjected to compressive forces in use the scrap ejector 10 of the present invention is secured within a recess or cavity 114 on the cutting die 108 as shown in fig6 the outer faces 24 of the lug 16 on one side of the web 14 are secured by a suitable adhesive to the die board 108 the lugs 16 on the opposite side of the web 14 extend above the edge of the cutting rule 112 the height of the scrap ejector 10 is such that the outer faces 24 extend beyond the cutting edges of the rule 112 to ensure proper ejection of the scrap when the scrap ejector 10 is compressed as the die moves into contact with a corrugated paper board the scrap ejector 10 is easily deformed the lugs 16 become compressed and are displaced into the notches 18 by allowing room for displacement of the lug 16 the present invention avoids the problem of overloading and permanently deforming of the scrap ejector 10 as the scrap ejector 10 passes through the rotary die it holds the scrap against the anvil cylinder 104 so that the scrap is stripped from the blank in prior art ejectors.
