Die machine and drive member installed thereon

A drive member for driving a sheet of workpiece through a machine, comprising:

• a backing layer comprising a first surface defined in a first dimension by a first width and defined in a second dimension by a first length;
• and
• a padding layer comprising a first surface and a second surface that is opposite to the first surface, wherein the padding layer is composed of a compressible foam material and is defined in the first dimension and in the second dimension,
• wherein
• the first surface of the padding layer is bonded to the first surface of the backing layer, and a first length of the first surface of the padding layer in the second dimension equals to the first length of the backing layer, and
• the second surface of the padding layer is free from bonding, and a second length of the second surface of the padding layer in the second dimension is greater than the first length of the backing layer.

A speed strap, comprising:

• a backing layer comprising a first surface area and a second surface area, each of the first surface area and the second surface area of the backing layer being defined by a first width and a first length;
• a padding layer being composed of compressible foam material, the padding layer comprising a first surface area, a second surface area that is opposite to the first surface area, a first side surface area, and a second side surface area, wherein the first side surface area terminates the first surface area and the second surface area at a first end, the second side surface area terminates the first surface area and the second surface area at a second end, wherein the padding layer is provided with a first recess channel with an outlet on the first side surface area and a second recess channel with an outlet on the second side surface area, wherein the first surface area of the padding layer is bonded to the first surface area of the backing layer, and wherein the first surface area of the padding layer is bonded to the first surface area of the backing layer, a length of the first surface area along a dimension is same as the first length of the backing layer, and the second surface area of the padding layer is free from bonding, and a length of the second surface area along the dimension is greater than the first length of the backing layer;
• and
• a fastener comprising a tab fixedly attached in the first recess channel to at least one of the backing layer or the padding layer, and a hook fixedly attached in the second recess channel to at least one of the backing layer or the padding layer.
