Apparatus for pasting a web at right angles to its direction of motion

In an apparatus for placing strips of adhesive compound on a web moving in the direction of its length, the strips being generally at a right angle to the said length direction of the web, comprising a pasting cylinder running across said length direction generally at a right angle thereto, means for turning said cylinder at a speed related to the speed of said web, and a support part, said support part and said pasting cylinder being on opposite sides of said web, the invention residing in that said pasting cylinder is made up of a paster roll and a pasting cylinder body with said roll thereon, the roll and the cylinder having axes that are parallel to each other, said roll being supported on said body for turning motion in relation thereto and having an outer face with at least one paste well let into it so that said well is open and in the form of a break in the said outer face, said well having an outer limiting edge in keeping with the desired form of said strips, stripper means for keeping said outer face clear of said compound, said outer face being uncovered at least at a position opposite to said web support part, driving and timing means for turning said pasting cylinder body and said paster roll in relation to each other so that the axis of one thereof is moved about the other and so that the roll and the body is each turned about its axis with the timing thereof bearing a relation to the speed of the said web and being such that the sum of the surface speeds of the roll and of the said body as measured in the direction of motion of said web is equal to the speed of the web, said support part comprising a shaft, means for turning said shaft in timed relation to said web and to said paster roll, and a rail fixed to said shaft and sticking out proud therefrom in a radial direction in relation thereto, said rail being parallel to said pasting cylinder.
