Strip Advancer

It is a combination of two oneway linear clutches
The blue clutch (in the right) of two green knives linearly reciprocates (its motion source is not shown) and makes brown strip move to the right only.
The grey clutch (on the left) of two yellow knives is stationary and prevents the strip from moving to the left.
Red springs always force the knives towards the strip.
