- ABSTRACT A fold-over device for continuously folding over ply stock or like material, e.g., rubberized tire cord fabric, is disclosed the device being characterized by the presence of a series of rollers arranged in an oblique line along a conveyor and which progressively direct the free edge of the folded-over portion of the stock material into a predetermined overlying relationship with the free edge of the remaining portion of said stock material with edge control means being provided to align the edges of the folded over material with each other in superposed or stepped off relation just prior to the time the layers are adhered together, thereby to provide precisely and uniformly folded over stock material.
- edge control means being provided to align the edges of the folded over material with each other in superposed or stepped off relation just prior to the time the layers are adhered together, thereby to provide precisely and uniformly folded over stock material.
- Sheets-Sheet 5 INVENTORS OMERO NERI 8 CHARLES E. TODD FOLD-OVER DEVICE FOR RADIAL PLY BREAKER MATERIAL BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1.
- Field of the Invention This invention has utility in any area in which it is desired to continuously fold sheet-like material into longitudinally folded over relationship.
- the present invention proceeds on a different theory to achieve fold-over by utilizing a series of longitudinally spaced rollers that overlie a conveyor that is advancing the stock toward the discharge end of the unit.
- these rollers serve to gradually and progressively increase the amount of fold-over until such time as the complete degree of predetermined fold-over is obtained near the discharge end of the conveyor.
- the edges are accurately aligned in predetermined relation with each other and the layers are in spaced apart relationship.
- the layers are pressed together to produce accurately folded over stock material that is then removed from the unit by wind-up means.
- a key feature of the invention lies in the use of control means that serve to automatically align the stock supply unit with the conveyor unit, as well as other sensing and control units that continuously and automatically align the edges of the folded over stock in predetermined relationship with each other just prior to the point where the same are pressed together.

- FIGS. 15 and 16 are sectional views taken on lines 15-15 and 16-16 respectively of FIG. 14.
- the improved fold-over unit is, generally speaking, made up of five main components, as follows:
- FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings These five components and the manner in which they coact together so as to progressively advance folded-over stock along the fold-over line are best seen in FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings. The above described main components will now be separately described in detail.
- a support frame 9 is constructed in known fashion so as to extend transversely to the path of travel of the fabric being folded over, and as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, this frame is generally of I-I-shaped structural configuration in elevation so as to form a point of support for certain of the components that will now be described.
- a vertical plate assembly 10 is shown provided with appropriate bearings 12,12 within which may be received a cross shaft 11, with the outboard ends of shaft 11 being received by appropriate hearing blocks 13,13, that are, in turn, supported on the top of support frame member 9.
- the entire assembly 10 is permitted to shift transversely on the cross shaft 11, with a hydraulic cylinder 24 being mounted on the frame and employed in known fashion to effectuate such shifting, and with the extent of such shifting being indicated by the full and chain-dotted lines in FIG. 4 of the drawings.
- the vertical plate assembly 10 also includes opposed vertical side plates 14,14 which project to the rear of the plate, as well as intermediate vertical support ribs 14a, that are also provided on the rear face of said assembly for support purposes.
- the side plates 14,14 serve as a point of support for several units, including a stock roll 16, a liner wind-up roll 15, and a motor 17, with motor 17 serving, through appropriate gearing and sprocket connections, to drive an emery covered pull roll 18 and the liner wind-up roll 15.
- the letters, FL will indicate a combination of fabric and liner, while the letter, L used alone will indicate liner material itself. Likewise, the fabric itself will be designated by the letter, F.
- Air sensing means of this type are conventional, and the purpose served here is that on the demand of the sensor 22, the cylinder 24 will move the unit 10 transversely of frame 9 until proper alignment is achieved between the fabric F and the conveyor means B, which will now be described.
- the assembly includes an appropriate frame 25 also connected to support frame 9, upon which may be provided an elongate table surface 26.
- Frame 9 supports an idler roll 33, around which an endless belt 27 may be received with belt 27 serving as a conveyor belt upon which the fabric F is received, as it passes upwardly past the edge sensing device 22.
- a driven roll 28 (FIG. 1 1) that is driven by a motor 29 so as to continuously move the conveyor belt with one or more idler rolls 35,35 (FIGS. 2 and 3) being employed and with the path of movement being endless.
- a belt edge sensing head 32 is also carried on the frame adjacent the stock let-off unit and is adapted to shift the belt transversely for alignment purposes.
- the combination of the Kamberroller 31 and sensing head 32 assures that belt 27 is always at a predetermined position on the conveyor B so that the fabric F is deposited at the same position relative to the belt edge.
- the predetermined position of the fabric edge FE in this case is necessarily outside the longitudinal path of the edge of the belt 27, as shown in FIG. 16.
- FIG. 6 it will be first noted from FIG. 6 that two general types of fold-over roller units 38 and 39 are employed, with the unit 38 comprising a pair of rollers 38a,38a mounted one above the other, while only a single roller 39 is used in the instance of the three right-hand fold-over stations as they appear in FIG. 6 of the drawings.
- All of the fold-over roller units are of somewhat similar configuration and each includes a frame 40 bolted or otherwise secured to frame 25 at longitudinally spaced points along the conveyor.
- Each frame 40 supports a transverse arm 41, each arm being shorter than the preceding one.
- each arm 41 is inclined slightly at an angle with respect to the transverse dimension of said table.
- the roller axes are parallel to the arms 41, and the rollers are aligned at an angle as shown in an imaginary plane P, so that they progressively approach the fabric edge FE as shown in FIG. 6.
- rollers 38a,38a are spaced apart slightly and contact the opposed side surfaces of the folded over portion F of the fabric material and, in a sense, grip the fabric.
- one roll 38a is mounted on a rod 381) which rides freely within a vertical groove 420 on the frame 42 so that varying thicknesses of fabric could be folded over without affecting the operation of the device.
- the remaining roller units 39,39 serve to space the fabric layers apart as the progressive fold-over operation continues. They also serve to progressively urge the edge F0 toward overlying relationship with the edge FE as the fabric moves from left to right in FIG. 6, for example.
- the frame work 40 can be adjusted so as to vary the angular inclination of the arm 41 as desired.
- the angle of the unit 38 is felt to be important since this angle, when correlated with the length of the table determines the angle of the folded over edge relative to the direction of advance of the fabric, i.e., between the edges FE and F0, and the angle at which the edge F0 will enter the edge control device D.
- the edge control means D are best shown in FIGS. 13 through 16 of the drawings, with the purpose of these means being to positively align the folded over edge in predetermined relationship with the unfolded edge just prior to the point that the folded over portions are pressed together.
- a first sensing head 43 and a second sensing head 44 are associated with the edge control means.
- Air sensing heads 43 and 44 are mounted longitudinally adjacent to each other, but on different levels so that the folded over portion FO (FIG. 15) is received within the head 44, while the lower portion FE (FIGS. 14 and 15) is received within the sensing head 43.
- adjusting device 46 for altering the position of the top edge in relationship to its alignment with the bottom layer.
- the folded over edge F0 is held between a friction roll 52 and nylon roller 53 (FIG. 14) so that if this point of contact is pivotally shifted, resulting in an angular change, either to the right or left (FIG. 16), the alignment of the edges will be effected. Transverse movement of this type is effectuated by the pivotal movement of the bracket assembly 47.
- This bracket assembly includes a bracket 47a that is fixed to the frame as at 47b so as to have an arm portion 47c thereof overlying the friction roll 52, as best shown in FIG. 16,
- a clevis block 49 is pinned as by pin 48 to the arm 470, with the clevis block 49 being free to pivot around the axis of pin 48.
- a linkage 54 connects to a cylinder 55 so that upon actuation of the cylinder 55 in either direction, a pivoting movement occurs with respect to the clevis 49.
- the edge control device 47 is responsive to the sensing head 44, but since heads 43 and 44 are both mounted on the Kamberroller carriage 45, they, therefore, work in unison. Thus, sensing head 43 follows the edge of the bottom layer FE and in so doing, causes sensing head 44 to move relatively thereof, thereby requiring the edge of the top layer F0 to be altered to meet predetermined specifications.
- the specification being followed may be an exact edge to edge alignment, or an off-set overlap, and it is believed apparent by the use of the adjustment mechanism just described that the specifications can be changed relatively simply.
- press roll 56 is shown mounted transversely on frame 25 so as to press the stock material into folded over contact prior to its emission from the conveyor portion of the unit.
- the material so emitting as folded over fabric FF passes beneath a dancer roll 58, as it leaves the conveyor and, thence, on to a wind-up roll 57, with a liner being supplied from liner roll 59, in known fashion.
- the operation of the dancer roll 58 merely serves to activate, or inactivate, the motor 60 that drives the wind-up roll in response to the position of the dancer roll 58, the roll being shown in the down positions in solid lines in FIG. 11 and in chain-dotted lines in the same figure in its up position.
- the material then passes on to the conveyor belt 27 and is conveyed downstream with respect to the longitudinal extent of table 26.
- the first rolls 38a,38a a portion of it is continuously folded up and over, with the folded portion passing between rolls 38a,38a and the unfolded portion passing beneath lower roll 38a, and shifted transversely over the belt at an angle to the direction of advance of the material, as indicated by the line P of FIG. 6.
- the edges of the material thus approach their predetermined overlying relationship as they reach the edge control means D and pass between rolls 52 and 53. If any adjustment is required, the edge control device can be adjusted to laterally shift the point of nip (FIG. 16) either right or left as the case may require.
- the device will respond to the sensing head 44 and the Kamberroller unit 45 will effectuate such shifting of the edges as is required.
- the edge control device As the folded material leaves the edge control device, its edges will be perfectly aligned in their predetermined relationship, and will then be passed between driven roller 28 and presser roller 56, following which it will pass beneath the dancer roller 58, and, thence, onto the wind-up roll 57.
- a fabric fold-over mechanism of the character described, comprising;
- D. means juxtaposed to the stock-receiving end of said conveyor, and including means responsive to relative misalignment between said emitting stock and said conveyor belt, for effectuating relative lateral shifting between an adjunct of said stock let-off unit and said conveyor belt to bring said emitting stock into a predetermined alignment with said conveyor belt;
