Abstract:
Device for separating a fusible wide web, preferably a woven (10) or knitted fabric made of fusible thread material (11, 14) into at least two tapes (10'), especially tapes of patterned labels,with at least one fusion cutter (21) at the desired separation point (24) in the wide web (10), to cut the web as it moves longitudinally (27) by melting through the web material to form two adjacent tapes (10');with a finishing device (22), which acts on the edge areas of the cut tapes (10') to smooth the rough, fused edges (29);and finally with a transport device (28), which moves the wide web (10) and the tapes (10') into which it has been cut in the longitudinal direction (27), and which holds at least the section (40) of the tapes (10') to be processed under a longitudinal tension, in the area of the finishing device (22),whereinthe finishing device (22) consists of several deflecting points (70, 71, 72), which act on the edge areas of the tapes (10') in the section (40) to be processed;where the deflecting points (70, 71, 72) are offset with respect to each other both in the direction of the longitudinal movement (27) of the tape (10') and also in the vertical direction and cause the straight-through course of the known section (40) to be processed to proceed at an angle;and in that the longitudinal tension automatically pulls the edge areas of the tapes (10') in the section (40) to be processed against the deflecting points (70, 71, 72).
