Abstract
An applying apparatus, which cuts off a portion of a plurality of continuous films to a prescribed length and applies the cut-off portions of the films to a base plate, includes film feed members for feeding the continuous films to the base plate. The film feed members are provided above and below a base plate conveyance passage. A film feed member moving device moves the film feed members up and down synchronously at the right and left ends thereof relative to the base plate.
Claims8
An applying apparatus which cuts off a portion of a plurality of continuous films to a prescribed length and applies the cut-off portions of said continuous films to a base plate being conveyed, said apparatus comprising:
- means for feeding said continuous films to said base plate, said film feed means comprising upper and lower film feed members provided above and below a base plate conveyance passage;
- and
- means for moving said upper and lower film feed members upwardly and downwardly synchronously together at first and second ends of said upper and lower film feed members relative to said base plate, said film feed means moving means comprising synchronous kinematic coupling means, provided at said first and second ends of said upper and lower film feed members, for moving said film feed means upwardly and downwardly synchronously together, said film feed means further comprising:
- a plurality of double-shaft torque transmission mechanisms being connected to said coupling means by gear means, at least one of said double-shaft torque transmission mechanisms having an inner rotary shaft;
- and
- a power source being provided at said inner rotary shaft of said at least one of said plurality of double-shaft torque transmission mechanisms.
An applying apparatus comprising:
- a body;
- upper and lower film feed members connected to said body, and being provided with racks at first and second ends;
- support plates being coupled to and provided for said upper and lower film feed members, said support means being slidably movable and having racks mounted at first and second ends of said support plates;
- straight movement guide means for guiding movement of said support plates, said support plates being coupled to said body of said apparatus by said straight movement guide means, and said film feed members being coupled to said support plates by said straight movement guide means;
- first and second synchronization shafts having first and second gears mounted thereon at first and second ends of each of said first and second synchronization shafts, said first and second gears being engageable with said racks mounted on said support plates;
- third and fourth synchronization shafts having racks mounted thereon, said racks being engageable with said first and second gears mounted on said first and second synchronization shafts, said third and fourth synchronization shafts being disposed so that movements of said support plates for said upper and lower film feed members are synchronized;
- first and second synchronization hollow shafts in which said first and second synchronization shafts for said support plates are disposed;
- third and fourth gears being mounted on said first and second synchronization hollow shafts and engageable with said racks mounted on said film feed members;
- and
- a drive motor having a rotary shaft, wherein said rotary shaft of said drive motor is coupled to said first and second synchronization shafts for said support plates.
