Feed-Eater Printer Paper Edge Trimmer
Usage conditions apply
- Description
- This device was designed to detach the perforated edges found on printer paper in the early 1990s (and before then). It consists of a single sheet of black metal, folded, with a protruding curved tab at upper right-hand corner to trim the paper. The front is decorated with three light blue rectangles and a light blue logo showing paper being trimmed and reading: FEED-EATER. Blue text reads "Patent Pending," "COMPUTER PAPER EDGE STRIPPER," and "1-800-345-1201." A dashed line is etched in the metal towards the right-hand side, with arrows and etched text that reads: PULL DOWN. Etched text reading "TOP" is printed in the metal on the right-hand side above four punched holes, indicating where to position the paper for trimming.
