Paper ejection attachment for cutting die

A peripherally continuous horizontal frame-type die for cutting predetermined shapes of sheet paper from a stack of sheet paper, the lower peripheral edge of said die being sharpened, a horizontal plate spanning and supported from remote peripheral portions of said die, a resilient paper ejecting block supported from and beneath said plate and generally centrally disposed within said die, said block being of a vertical thickness extending downwardly from said plate to a level at least generally flush with the lower peripheral edge of said die, said block being sufficiently spaced from opposing inner peripheral surfaces of said die to allow for horizontal expansion of said block responsive to vertical compression thereof with said block remaining spaced inwardly of all inner peripheral surfaces of said die when vertically compressed and horizontally expanded, said plate defining outwardly opening notches formed therein and spaced peripherally thereabout, said notches, together with opposing portions of said die, defining openings through said plate outwardly of the corresponding peripheral portions of said block, said plate extending between and being securely fastened to said remote peripheral portions of said die and functioning as a support for said paper ejecting block and with said notches being of sufficient size to define handgrip openings through said plate through which digital access from above may be readily gained for manually gripping of said block between spaced peripheral portions thereof in order to lift said die from said stack of sheet paper, said block serving to upwardly eject said die from said stack after downward force on said die to cut said stack is released and said openings further serving to enable manual ejection of a few cut sheets of paper remaining in said die after a cutting operation has been completed.
