Abstract
An apparatus for severing data-bearing tapes which are dispensed by a machine, which apparatus comprises an electric motor for driving a double-edged helical rotary cutter for cooperating with a spring-loaded stationary cutter, comprises an angle-section carrier, which is formed on the outside of one leg of said carrier with a concave recess extending along said one leg and receiving said rotary cutter, whereas the second leg of the carrier constitutes a bottom for mounting the motor, which is disposed in the spaced defined between the two legs, and the carrier is adapted to be cut to a length which matches the width of the tape to be severed.
Claims14
In an apparatus for severing data-bearing tapes, comprising,
- a helical rotary cutter,
- a stationary cutter for cooperating with said rotary cutter to sever said tape,
- spring means for urging said stationary cutter against said rotary cutter, and
- an electric motor for rotating said rotary cutter,
- the improvement residing in that
- an angle-section carrier having first and second legs is provided, said first leg is provided with a concave recess extending longitudinally along said carrier,
- means for mounting said rotary cutter in said recess,
- said electric motor being mounted on said second leg,
- a first covering hood is mounted on said carrier and covers said rotary and stationary cutters,
- a second covering hood is mounted on said carrier and covers said electric motor, and
- said means for mounting said rotary cutter includes a pair of spaced end walls, each of said end walls is provided with at least one pin for retaining said first covering hood.
