Carrier Member Having a Resilient Member

An apparatus comprising:

• a transfer member having an outer surface;
• and
• a carrier member comprising a body having an outer surface and a resilient member connected with the outer surface of the body, wherein the carrier member is rotatable about an axis of rotation,
• wherein the resilient member comprises:
• a resilient material;
• a plurality of intermittently spaced first voids extending circumferentially about the axis of rotation at a first radial distance from the axis of rotation;
• and
• a plurality of intermittently spaced second voids extending circumferentially about the axis of rotation at a second radial distance from the axis of rotation, wherein the first radial distance is greater than the second radial distance,
• wherein a nip is formed between the cylindrical roll and the transfer member.

A carrier member configured to receive a discrete article from a transfer assembly, the carrier member comprising a body having an outer surface and a resilient member connected with the outer surface of the body, wherein the carrier member is rotatable about an axis of rotation,

• wherein the resilient member comprises:
• a plurality of intermittently spaced first voids extending circumferentially about the axis of rotation at a first radial distance from the axis of rotation;
• and
• a plurality of intermittently spaced second voids extending circumferentially about the axis of rotation at a second radial distance from the axis of rotation, wherein the first radial distance is greater than the second radial distance, wherein the first voids are separated from the second voids.
