Application December 6, 1939, Serial No. 307,793 8 Claims. (01. 164-28) This invention relates to cutting apparatus and more particularly to a rotary type of cutting apparatus designed to excise sections of material from a moving web. This apparatus and method has particular application and use as a part of a bag machine.
In the manufacture of windowed or apertured containers of various kinds including envelopes and bags, it is customary first to form in a continuous web a series of apertures corresponding exactly to the windows or apertures which are to appear in the finished article and spaced at regular intervals to permit cutting operations which will divide the sheet into individual members for formation into the container envelope Or bag.
Various complicated and costly mechanisms have been devised for creating the aperture or window in a continuous web. These mechanisms include a series of rotating transverse and longitudinal knives and various punch mechanisms, all of which are costly in manufacture, relatively difficult in operation and by reason of the complexity of the device, easily disabled.
The present invention has therefore for its object a simplified excising or aperture forming apparatus for use in connection with sheet material, which apparatus will effect a series of linearly arranged regularly spaced perforations in a moving web of continuous sheet material.
Another and important object of this invention is to provide a simple apparatus for excising a portion of the body of a continuously moving web of sheet material and ejecting or removing the excised portion without interfering with or slowing down the operation of the device.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a simplified means for the formation of apertures in a moving web which does not involve complicated and costly dies and which requires a single cutting edge to cooperate with a yielding female member.
There are many other objects and uses of this invention, part of which will become apparent and the rest be pointed out in the following description taken in connection with the drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a general view in perspective of the aperture forming apparatus of the present invention.
Figure 2 is a cross sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a cross sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a cross sectional viewtaken on line 4-4 of Figure 1.
Figure 5 is a top plan view of the cutting mechanism. I
Figure 6 is a bottom view of the cutting mechanism.
Figure '7 is a detail of the cutter and Figure 8 is a view taken from line 8-8 of Figure 7 looking in the direction of the arrows.
. Referring now to Figure 1, the continuous web I!) isunwound from the roll H and by means of the guide rolls I2 and I3 is caused to pass closely aroundthe roll I4 in the manner shown. Rotating simultaneously with the roll M and in the direction indicated by the arrows, roll carries the cutting member I5, the circumferential speed of the blades of which is the same as that of the roll l4.
During each revolution of the rolls I4 and Hi the blades of the cutter l6 cut into the material of the continuous web It], excise a portion thereof to produce the aperture l1, eject the excised portion by projecting it away from the face of the cutter l6 so that a suction pump connected to the conduit [8 will draw the excised strip away to permit the apparatus to automatically be reset for the next cutting operation.
It will thus be seen that a single window is formed for each revolution of the roll I5. Where a plurality of windows are to be formed in a single transverse row, obviously a plurality of members l6 may be mounted on the roll I5.
As seen in Figures 1 and 2, the cutting mechanism I6 comprises a base plate carrying a series of knives 2| and Y22. The knives 21 which correspond to and are concentric with the curve of the roll I5, preferably are fastened to the base plate 20 by means of the clamp 23. For this purpose; thebase plate 20 has a series of perforations in the sides thereof with which the screws 24 register.
The knife blade 2| likewise has a correspond ing series of perforations. The knife blade 2| is mounted, as seen in Fig. 2 at the side of the member 20 and a clamping plate 25 is mounted thereover and the screws are passed through perforationsin the clamping plate 25 and in the knife 2| to enter the perforations in the sides of the base plate. The knife 22 as seen in the cross sectional views of Figures 2, 3 and 4 comprise members which extend in a plane which is an extension of a radius of the roll I5 at right angles to the surface thereof but each of the knives 22 has a bent portion 26 which extends upon the-curved side of the plate 20 of the cutting member to meet the knife 2| at the joint 21. In other words; the knife 22 and its angular extensions 25 will in the case of a rectangular window forming device form or occupy three sides of a rectangle, the two opposed members 22 having wings 26 extending towards each other and the opposed members 2| connecting the wings on each side.
Obviously adjustability of the size of the cut to be made may be obtained by making the mounting of the knives adjustable.
As is seen in Figure '7, each of the knives as, for instance, knife 22 having the extension 26 comprises an angular surface adapted readily to cut into the sheet material. The angular surfaces 3|] may be so formed as to insure the effectuation of a clean cut. Thus, for instance, as seen in Figure 8 each of the angular portions 30 of the knife edge may be pyramidal in form with each of the edges of the pyramid being sharp. Obviously, of course, in particularly cases, each of the angular members may be tetrahedral in shape or have any other shape presenting a plurality of edges in a confined area.
It will also be clear that the clamp 40 which may be screwed into the side of the plate by means of screws 4| will also be of a form corresponding to the shape of the knife 22 and will also have extensions 42 so that the knife 22 will be clamped thereby and held in true position.
The surface of the roll I4 around which the moving web I!) is pressed and guided is preferably of a rubber or other yieldable material composition which will permit the knives 2| and 22 to be pressed therein without destroying the surface of the roll. Therefore during each cutting operation, the knives press into the moving web and thence into the roll itself and by means of the angular edges 30 of the knife excise evenly the portion forming the aperture. Obviously, therefore, the points of the knives enter entirely into the opposing roll of yieldable material in order that the clean cut may be obtained.
It will be noted however that ordinarily by reason of the projection of the knife edges above their base, the excised portion of the web may tend to adhere to or stick within the blades. Accordingly, there are provided extrusion plates 58-50 for the purpose of insuring that the excised portion of theweb will not remain upon the cutter and also for the purpose of insuring that the continuous web will be held smooth and even during the cutting operation.
The extrusion plates, as seen in Figure 3, are mounted upon pins 5| which extend through perforations 52 in the plate 20, the pins being held by cotter pins 53 beneath the plate 20 (cf. also Fig. 6), suitably shaped orifice 54 being provided in the roll l5 to permit the pins 5| to oscillate sumciently to permit the extrusion member to operate.
During the course of the rotation of the roll 55 as the extrusion plates come in contact with the web ID on the roll I4, they press the web even more firmly against the roll and, by reason of the area of the extrusion plates they are prevented from entering into the web or the roll. However, as the knife edges 2| and-22- extend through the web I0 and into the roll, the extrusion plates 50 thus are depressed beneath the knife edges and pressed firmly against the sheet material, pressing it against the roll during the cutting operation.
When the cutting operation is completed and the knife edges no longer project into the roll l4, and the extrusion plates are no longer in contact with the roll M, then the springs force the plates upwardly beyond the edges of the knives thus pushing the excised blank out of engagement with the knife blades.
This occurs immediately before the face of the cutter approaches the opening of the suction conduit l8 which will remove the excised sheet from the cutter by suction.
In order to insure that there is sufficient pressure behind the excised sheet to permit the suction apparatus to operate, a perforation (see Figures 1 and 2) is provided in the plate 20. This perforation communicates with the tube 6| in the roll l5 which in turn communicates with the tube 62 in the shaft 63 of the roll I5. Ordinary atmospheric pressure through the conduits 62, 6| to the perforation 60 will permit the suction through the conduit I8 to be sufficient to draw off the excised sheet.
Where there is extremely rapid operation then 11). order to insure removal, additional pressure may be applied through the tubes 62, BI and the perforation 60 in order to assist in blowing the excised sheet off the cutter for the suction conduit to remove the same. For this purpose, gaps 65 are provided between adjacent plates in order to permit the atmospheric pressure or additional pressure to be effective when in cooperation with the removal conduit l8. v
The plate 29 (see Figure 4) may be fastened or keyed to the roll 5 in any suitable manner as, for instance, by the adjustable screws35 which may be mounted in countersunk recesses 36 in the plate 2|] and which may enter threaded perforations 31 in the roll, the screws being of such length that they will not project to the base of the perforations 31 and thus will permit the screws to be adjustable within the roll.
Despite the serrated edge used, since each of the serrations comprises a point extending beyond a pyramidal base, the cut-out formed by the present apparatus is even and bounded by straight edges. The yielding surface into which the blades are pressed acts as the female cutting die or member to cooperate with the edges of the blades to produce a straight, clean cut.
Variations in the spacing of perforations may be obtained by variations in the relative size of rolls I4 and I5. Care should be taken, however, that the circumferential speed of the knife blade is the same as that of the web to be cut so'that an even regular cut may be formed.
A web thus apertured may be readily utilized in the formation of apertured or windowed bags or enclosures, the spacing of the cut-outs or perforations being arranged to permit successive bags to be formed from the sheet without waste.
The method of cutting or excision, may obviously be applied to the formation of openings, cut-outs of any desired shape or extent. If desired, this method may be used to form con-j tinuous slots in a sheet or to excise continuous ribbons therefrom, and the cutting edge .and roller of the type herein disclosed may .even be of real utility in cutting successive sheets .in varying shapes and sizes. 1
Many variations and uses of my device will now be clear to those skilled in the art. IEprefer therefore to be limited not by the particulardisclosure but only the appended claims. i
