Abstract
This fiber chopper overcomes the disadvantages of the previous cutting rollers for chopping continuous filaments. The apparatus includes a means for feeding continuous fibers to a vibrating cutting blade. The vibrating blades engage the continuous fiber and chops them into discrete fiber lengths. A vibrating head vibrates the cutting blades through a vibrating table.
