Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A cutter receptor extends transversely across the path of movement of sheet material to be cut, and an endless belt is trained over a pair pulleys for movement adjacent and substantially parallel to the cutter receptor.
  • a disk-shaped cutter is rotatably mounted on the endless belt and spring biased to press toward the cutter receptor to cut cut a predetermined length of sheet material during movement of the belt.
  • the pulley is driven by a driving mechanism which is under the control of a control mechanism selectively operable to activate the drive mechanism to rotate the pulley to advance the cutter from a retracted starting position into rotating engagement with the cutter receptor and therealong to cut a length of sheet material, after which the rotation of the pulley is continued to return the cutter to its retracted starting position.
  • the driven pulley is fixed to a shaft on which there is rotatably mounted a gear.
  • a coil spring has one end secured to the shaft and its other end secured to a housing rotatable with the gear, and a driving pinion meshes with the gear.
  • the driven pulley is normally latched against movement but, when the latch is released, the spring rotates the driven pulley to drive the belt carrying the cutter. During the time that the pulley is latched against movement, the pinion rotates the gear to rewind the spring.
  • Control elements are associated with the shaft and with the gear, and effect operation of a microswitch controlling energization of a motor for driving the pinion.
  • the driven pulley is rotated by an electric motor whose energization is controlled by control cams operatively associated with control switches.
  • a known sheet cutting apparatus includes a diskshaped cutter and a cutter receptor, and the cutter is reciprocated relative to the receptor to cut the sheet material.
  • this known sheet cutting apparatus it is necessary to vary the inclination of the disk-shaped cutter relative to the cutter receptor, when the cutter moves in one direction, from the inclination of the cutter, when the cutter moves in the opposite direction, so as to bring the leading edge of the cutter into engagement with the cutter receptor at all times.
  • This known apparatus has the advantage of cutting the sheet material in either direction of movement of the disk-shaped cutter.
  • the support device for the cutter is complex in structure and the cutter is not reliable in performance.
  • This invention relates to sheet cutting apparatus of the type using a disk-shaped cutter cooperating with a cutter receptor to cut a predetermined length of the material.

  • a cutter receptor extends transversely across the path of movement of the sheet material, and the endless belt is mounted adjacent and substantially parallel to the cutter receptor.
  • the sheet material to be cut may be any type of sheet material such as, for example, a photosensitive sheet, a magnetic sheet, or similar sheet material, which moves along a predetermined path of travel.
  • the cutter is secured to a shaft which is rotatably mounted in a support secured to the endless belt, and a spring biases the cutter toward pressing engagement with the cutter receptor, the cutter being so mounted that its orientation, with respect to the cutter receptor, is maintained always at the same angle so that cutting can be carried out accurately and continuously.
  • the cutting apparatus of the invention is more reliable in performance and less complex in construction than sheet cutting apparatus in which a diskshaped cutter is reciprocated along a cutter receptor in opposite directions to effect cutting.
  • One of the two pulleys over which the endless belt is trained is driven by suitable means, such as a spring or by an electric motor, and control elements are provided to control the rotation of the driven pulley so that the cutter is moved in one direction, by the endless belt, along the cutter receptor, and then returned along the other run of the endless belt to a retracted starting position.

  • control elements are provided to control the rotation of the driven pulley so that the cutter is moved in one direction, by the endless belt, along the cutter receptor, and then returned along the other run of the endless belt to a retracted starting position.
  • electric motor driven means effect rewinding of the spring automatically, responsive to the control elements, after-each run of the endless belt in one direction.
  • An object of the invention is to provide an improved sheet cutting apparatus incorporating a disk-shaped cutter cooperable with a cutter receptor to cut a predetermined length of sheet material moving along a path of travel.

If gear 19 is driven by the mentioned motor, when projection- 10a is en gaged with stop 25, spiral spring 16 can be wound up to store resilient energy therein.
  • an abutment 26 is secured to one axial end surface of gear 19, and a switch presser 27 is mounted on a shaft 28 secured in gear 19.
  • a switch presser 27 is mounted on a shaft 28 secured in gear 19.
  • 'Abutment 26 is adapted to abut against one blade 20a of member 20, and the other blade 20b is bent or stepped at its outer end, as best seen in FIG. 4, so that it will not engage abutment 26.
  • Presser 27, which is pivotally supported by shaft or pivot 28, is biased by a suitable spring (not shown) to pivot toward the axis of gear 19.
  • presser 27 has a pressed projection 27a adapted to be pressed, by an end edge of blade 20a of member 20 and a bent pressing portion 27b of presser 27, against an actuator 29a of a switch 29 mounted adjacent one axial end surface of gear 19.
  • Spiral spring 16 is fully wound when disk-shaped cutter 2 is disposed in a starting position, as shown in FIG. 1. At this time, pulley 10 and shaft 13 are stationary, as projection 10a engages stop 25 to lock pulley 10 against rotation.
  • blade 20a of control member 20 urges projection 27a of presser 27 toward the outer periphery of gear 19 and against the biasing force of the spring, as shown in FIG. 5A, so that the actuator 29a of switch 29 is depressed by pressing portion 27b of presser 27.
  • Switch 29 is a normally closed switch arranged to control the energization of the spring winding motor connected to gear 24.
  • gear 24 When its actuator 29a is depressed, gear 24 is not driven and gear 19 remains stationary. Under these conditions, gear 19 is subjected to the driving force of spiral spring 16 acting in a direction opposite to the arrow a.I-Iowever, rotation of gear 19 is prevented by a locking pawl 30 engaged therewith, as illustrated in FIG. 5A.
  • Pawl 30 is biased, by suitable means, to engage gear 19 and is also disengageable to permit gear 19 to rotate.

  • rotary member 21 As shaft 13 rotates in a direction of the arrow a, rotary member 21 also rotates in the direction of arrow a, as shown in FIG. 5A, and assumes the position shown in FIG. 58 after making substantially one revolution. In the position of FIG. 5B, blade 21a engages blade 20b of rotary member 20. Rotary member 21 continues to rotate in the direction of the arrow a even after its blade 21a engages blade 20b, so as to rotate rotary member 20 along with rotary member 21. As a result, blade 20a of rotary member 20 is brought out of engagement with presser 27, thus permitting switch 29 to close. When switch 29 is closed, gear 19 is driven by the spring winding motor and causes gear 19 to rotate in the direction of arrow a.

If cam 48 is rotated and its projection 48a engages movable contact 46a of switch 46, contact 46a engages fixed contact 46b to energize electromagnet 43. Energization of electromagnet 43, attracts portion 39b of lever 39 against core 44 overcoming the bias of spring 41, so that lever 39 is pivoted counterclockwise and locking portion 39a .is released from engagement with projection 10a of pulley 10.
