Summary:A stripper mechanism which is adapted to cooperate with a supply roll of strip material rotatably supported adjacent the mechanism to separate a leading end of the strip material from the supply roll includes a body portion and a tooth portion. The tooth portion is mounted on the body portion for limited rotation about an axis perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the roll. The body portion of the stripper member is supported for movement from a first location whereat the tooth portion is out of engagement with the roll to a second location whereat the tooth portion is in engagement with the outermost convolution of the strip material on the roll. Being free to rotate relative to the body portion, the tooth portion aligns itself with the plane of the strip material forming the outermost convolution of the roll regardless of the angular build-up of film caused by a single stripe of magnetic material on the film surface, thereby insuring positive, smooth pick-up of the free end of the strip material during film feeding operation.
