Abstract
For the purpose of transferring a leader of a web-formed material (1) from a first treatment step to a subsequent second treatment step, the web-formed material (1) is divided by forming a strip (1a) in one edge portion of the web-formed material. The strip (1a) is passed in between two sharp edges (5a,6a) located close to each other, such that the two sharp edges (5a,6a) embrace the strip like a pair of shears. Thereafter, one of the sharp edges (6a) is moved towards the other (5a) so that said one edge (6a) passes said other edge (5a), hence cutting off the strip. With the same movement, the leader is given an impulse, in a direction essentially perpendicular to the strip (1a), towards a leader conveyor (7,8) which intercepts the leader and passes it into the second treatment step.
