The apparatus includes a plenum box having a pressure opening defined by a peripheral edge of the box, an arrangement for forcing the belt and box from the normal path position toward the receiving member at the preselected position and a mechanism for creating a positive pressure adjacent one surface of the belt to force the leaf from the belt onto the receiving member.
