Patent GB-191126164-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Supplying Paper to Web Printing Machines.
Inventor: ANNAND ROBERT CUMMING
IPC: B65H19/18
Filed: 1911-11-22
Granted: 1912-10-10
Abstract: 26,164. Annand, R. C. Nov. 22. Feeding webs.-An apparatus for feeding new webs of paper to printing - machines without stopping the machine is so constructed that the join of the old and new webs by paste is effected without the use of auxiliary pressure devices, the usual guide rollers acting in combination with two or more reel-carrying devices in such a way that the guide rollers act in conjunction with the tension of the old web to form the joint. In one form of apparatus, the frame of the machine is formed with bearings 2, 3, Fig. 1, in which the roll supports can be readily inserted and removed, the supports 2, 3 being arranged in the same vertical plane. As shown, the paper from the acting roll 4 is passed over a spring-controlled guide roll 6 and a guide roll 7, and when the web is nearly exhausted a new roll 5 is inserted in the bearing 3 and its leading end is coated on the outside with an adhesive, When exhaustion of the roll 4 is practically complete, its speed is reduced, and the pasted end of the new web is applied to the old web, the new web being led by hand around roller 6 and then in between the expiring web and the roller 7. The adhesion of the webs being thus completed, the old web 4 is severed by lifting one end of the axle of the spent reel by means of a lever 10, thereby bringing the strain of the web pull on one edge of the paper, and causing it to tear across. The roll 5, when exhausted, is similarly torn by lifting its axle, and a new roll 4 is similarly attached to the expiring web of this roll. As shown in Fig. 2, the rolls are arranged in the same horizontal plane, and the webs are attached in a similar manner to that described in connexion with Fig. 1. The cutting- device in this case consists of a wire, preferably slack, secured to two arms, which may be a little out of parallel and are arranged on arms 13 on a counterweighted shaft 14 operated by a handle 15 to sever the expiring web. An additional guide roller may be provided for further pressing the old and new webs together under the web tension.
