PATENTEH JUN29 IBII 3. 5 9,223
The invention consists in a paper-cutting machine comprising a pair of spaced-apart plates, guide members disposed between the plates, a slide for supporting paper mounted for movement between the plates along the guide members,
, cutting blades disposed between the plates an ejector mechanism mounted on one of the plates whereby .upon movement of the slide from the said other of the plates to the said one of the plates, paper is brought into contact with the cutting blades, cut and then is removed by the ejector mechanism.
Preferably, the slide includes a plurality of longitudinal and lateral cutouts, and a plurality of stop members disposed on the said one of the plates and cooperating with the cutouts for guiding paper supported on the slide.
Preferably, clamping dogs are provided on the said one of the plates for adjustably positioning the cutting blades, and include locating pins for supporting the clamping dogs from the i said one of the plates.
Preferably, the ejector mechanism includes a pusher member mounted for reciprocation on the said one of the plates, a toothed rack connected to the pusher member adapted to be driven by a motor, and an adjustably mounted switch actuator disposed on the toothed rack for actuating a switch. i
In known machines of this type an average of 100,000 labels per hour can be cut out, in comparison to the instant device wherein somewhere between 40,000 and 800,000 labels per hour can be produced.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is an overall side elevation of a paper-cutting machine according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is a plan view ofa slide;
FIG. 3 is an inverted section of the slide shown in FIG. 2;
FIG. is a side elevation of a clamping dog turned through 90"; and FIG. Sis a plan view of the clamping dog of FIG. 4.
The paper-cutting machine according to the invention includes a subframe 1 with a bottom plate 3 secured thereto.
Four vertical guide members are mounted on the bottom plate 3. A top plate 4 is disposed on the top of vertical guide members 5. A slide is disposed between the members 5 for vertical movement thereon. The slide includes bearing 36 located at the corners thereof for cooperation with the members 5. As shown in FIG. 2, the slide has a plurality oflateral and longitudinal cutouts or slots 37. Adjustable stop members 7 are adjustably secured to the bottom plate 3 and arranged to cooperate with the cutouts 37 to thereby guide the stack of paper which is to be cut. The upward and downward vertical movement of the slide 2 is effected by a hydraulic system 6 including a cylinder and piston unit. The hydraulic system 6, in particular the cylinder, as shown in FIG. I, is secured to the bottom plate 3. The piston on the other hand is secured to the slide 2 by means ofa threaded sleeve 38 as shown in FIG. 3.
- Clamping screws 42 secure the clamping dogs 11 in the rails 41 by pinching a threaded section of the dog which contains a slot 43 which in turn locks the threaded spindle 44 and therefore the clamping dog 11 in the desired position. By releasing the clamping screw 42, the threaded spindle maybe rotated at its adjusting end 12 which in turn adjusts the dog 11 and the blade secured thereto.
After the material has been cut, it is ejected from the machine by an ejector mechanism disposed on the top plate 4. This ejector mechanism includes a pusher member 33, a toothed rack 32 driven by a motor 31 and connected to the pusher member 33. An adjustably mounted switch actuator 35 is arranged on the toothed rack 32 and is adapted to actuate the switch 34 so mounted on the top plate 4.
Paper-guiding elements 8 are provided on the top plate 4 for guiding the cut labels or the like in ordered fashion when the labels are being ejected by the pusher member 33 onto a conveyor 9. The position of the guiding elements may be adjusted in response to the sizes oflabels which are cut.
In addition to a hydraulic system 6 housed in the subframe 1 is a reservoir 27 containing hydraulic: fluid for the hydraulic system 6. A drive motor 20 with a clutch 21 is secured to the subframe l. The subframe 1, which is formed as a cylinder, is provided with a door 19 which carries an electrical control panel 18 with a switch lever 23. In addition, an oil level indicator 26, a pressure gauge 24 or similar fittings may be located on the subframe I.
