Abstract
According to the present invention there is provided an anvil assembly adapted for selective cooperation with a horn operatively connected to an ultrasonic wave generator such as to enable a textile workpiece disposed between the horn and the anvil assembly to be cut with the cut and simultaneously sealed. The anvil assembly comprises an anvil and a cradle, the anvil adapted to be selectively mounted onto the cradle in any one of at least two mounting positions, wherein corresponding to each mounting position the anvil comprises one peaked longitudinal cutting edge and a corresponding engagement section parallel to a longitudinal axis of the anvil. The corresponding positioning and engagement section is adapted for selective engagement for removably positioning and locked onto the cradle.
Claims22
An anvil assembly for use in an ultrasonic cutting apparatus, said assembly is designed for selective cooperation with a horn operatively connected to an ultrasonic wave generator capable to impart to the horn reciprocating movement and to enable a textile workpiece disposed between said horn and said anvil assembly to be cut and the cut edges to be sealed, said anvil assembly characterized in comprising:
- an anvil and a stationary cradle, said anvil adapted to be indexably mountable onto the cradle in any one of at least two mounting positions, wherein corresponding to each mounting position said anvil comprises one peaked longitudinal rectilinear cutting edge and a corresponding engagement section substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the anvil;
- said corresponding engagement section is selectively engageable with a complementary engagement means formed in the cradle for enabling the anvil to be removably locked onto the cradle in a corresponding one of said at least two mounting positions such that the peaked edge corresponding to one of said at least two mounting positions protrudes from the cradle.
An anvil for use in an anvil assembly for an ultrasonic cutting apparatus, said anvil is adapted for selective cooperation with a horn operatively connected to an ultrasonic wave generator capable to impart to the horn reciprocating movement and to enable a textile workpiece disposed between said horn and said anvil to be cut and the cut edges to be sealed, said anvil assembly characterized in that:
- said anvil is adapted to be indexably mountable onto a steady cradle in any one of at least two mounting positions, wherein corresponding to each mounting position said anvil comprises one peaked longitudinal rectilinear cutting edge and a corresponding engagement section substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the anvil;
- said corresponding engagement section is selectively engageable with a complementary engagement means formed in the cradle for enabling the anvil to be removably locked onto the cradle in a corresponding one of said at least two mounting positions such that the peaked edge corresponding to one of said at least two mounting positions protrudes from the cradle.
A steady cradle for use in an anvil assembly for an ultrasonic cutting apparatus, said cradle is adapted for selective cooperation with a horn operatively connected to an ultrasonic wave generator capable to impart to the horn reciprocating movement and to enable a textile workpiece disposed between said horn and said anvil to be cut and the cut edges to be sealed, said anvil assembly characterized in that:
- said anvil is adapted to be selectively indexable onto the cradle in any one of at least two mounting positions, wherein corresponding to each mounting position said anvil comprises one peaked longitudinal rectilinear cutting edge and a corresponding engagement section substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the anvil;
- said corresponding engagement section is selectively engageable with a complementary engagement means formed in the cradle for enabling the anvil to be removably locked onto the cradle in a corresponding one of said at least two mounting positions such that the peaked edge corresponding to one of said at least two mounting positions protrudes from the cradle.
An anvil assembly for an ultrasonic cutting apparatus, said assembly comprising:
- a horn operatively connected to an ultrasonic wave generator capable to impart to the horn reciprocating movement, an anvil and a stationary cradle, said anvil being adapted to be indexably mountable onto the cradle in any one of at least two mounting positions, wherein said horn is adapted to selectively cooperate with the anvil so as to enable a textile workpiece disposed between said horn and said anvil to be cut and the cut edges to be sealed.
