Abstract: This universal ejection tool (1) for the waste from a blanking press for cutting out sheet elements, particularly for a press for cutting sheet elements such as paper or cardboard intended for the production of packages, comprises a frame (2), the top part of which is equipped with a plate (10) perforated with a plurality of holes (11) uniformly distributed. The bottom part of said frame is provided with a plate (12) identical to the plate (10) and of substantially identical dimensions to those of the frame (2). Said plate (12) is also perforated with a plurality of holes (13), which are perfectly aligned with the holes (11) in pairs on vertical straight lines. Said plates (10, 12) are separated in the inner space of the frame (2) by a separating means. The vertical pairs of holes (11, 13) are traversable by ejection needles (30), which are simply held therein by a spring effect.
