Abstract
Apparatus for cross cutting and/or perforating of a web. The apparatus performs two consecutive partial cuts and, provides for positive guidance of a partially cut web. This is accomplished by first and second cutting blade rollers, arranged with one common counter cylinder and guided by groups of belts passing through breaks in the blades. The breaks of the two blades are laterally offset relative to each other, and the belts are pressed against the counter cylinder to convey the web. This eliminates the need for one counter cylinder and one pair of pull rollers, it decreases the danger of web tear and eliminates the web stretching and the accompanying offset of the two partial cuts.
Claims6
An apparatus for cross cutting of a web, comprising:
- first and second cutting blade rollers (2,3) each having a cutting blade (5,10) with breaks (6,12) formed in an edge of the cutting blade, the breaks in the cutting blade edge of said first cutting blade roller being laterally offset with respect to breaks in an edge of the cutting blade of said second cutting blade roller to enable a complete lateral cut of the web as a result of partial cuts made by both of said first and second cutting blade rollers (2,3);
- a counter cylinder positioned adjacent said first and second cutting blade rollers for cooperating therewith in cutting the web;
- a first group of moving belts (7) guided through the breaks (6) of the cutting blade (5) in the first cutting blade roller (2) and arranged to press the web (16) against said counter cylinder (1) to guide the web (16);
- and
- a second group of moving belts (13) guided through the breaks (12) in the cutting blade (10) of the second cutting blade roller (3) and arranged to press the web (16) against said counter cylinder (1) to guide the web (16).
An apparatus for perforating a web, comprising:
- first and second cutting blade rollers (2,3) each having a perforating blade (9,11) with breaks (6,12) formed in an edge of the cutting blade, the breaks in the perforating blade edge of said first cutting blade roller being laterally offset with respect to breaks in an edge of the perforating blade of said second cutting blade roller to enable a complete perforation of the web as a result of partial perforations made by both of said first and second cutting blade rollers (2,3);
- a counter cylinder positioned adjacent said first and second cutting blade rollers for cooperating therewith in cutting the web;
- a first group of moving belts (7), guided through the breaks (6) of the perforating blade (9) in the first cutting blade roller (2) and arranged to press the web (16) against said counter cylinder (1) to guide the web (16);
- and
- a second group of moving belts (13) guided through the breaks (12) in the perforating blade (11) of the second cutting blade roller (3) and arranged to press the web (16) against said counter cylinder (1) to guide the web (16).
