Title: Machine for folding sheets of paper
IPC: B65H45/22
Filed: 1962-11-02
Abstract: 988,333. Folding paper; feeding sheets. MASCHINENFABRIK WINKLER, FALLERT & CO. A.G. Nov. 2, 1962 [Nov. 20, 1961], No. 41503/62. Headings B6B and B6H. In apparatus for imparting to a paper sheet 10 a fold parallel to its direction of movement and comprising a rotary folding-blade 11 carried by a rotating support 1 and co-operating with folding rollers 12, means are provided to adjust the time at which the blade 11 engages the rollers 12 such means being controlled by devices for sensing the position of a sheet. The shaft 7 of the support 1 has slidably mounted thereon a narrow gear 3 engaging a wide bevel gear 2 on a driving shaft 8, and to adjust the timing the gear 3 is moved along its shaft 7 by a fork 6 and a screwed spindle 5, the spindle 5 being rotated by a servomotor 4 controlled by the sensing devices. The latter, as shown, comprise two light sources 13, 14 and photoelectric devices 15, 16, the two beams of light corresponding to the two extreme permissible positions of the leading edge of the copy for correct folding. In circuit with the photoelectric devices 13, 14 is another photo-electric device 18 upon which a beam of light from a source 17 impinges when a hole 19 in a disc 20 rotating with the shaft 7 registers with the source 17. The position of the hole is such that the device 18 is activated at the moment folding takes place. If at the same time the copy is in such a position that both devices 15, 16 are not illuminated, a circuit 21 causes operation of the servomotor 4 to advance the time of operation of the blade. Should, however, both devices 15, 16 be illuminated due to the copy lagging behind the folding position, the servomotor 4 retards the time of operation of the blade. Hand adjustment may be effected whilst the machine is running by mounting a hand wheel on the spindle 5. Instead of photo-electric devices, electromagnetic or magnetic impulse transmitters may be employed as sensing devices, Further, in place of the bevel-gearing 2, 3, a differential or sun-and-planet gearing may be used to alter the timing of the folding blade.
