Granted: 1907-05-08
Abstract: 10,782. Ballard, M. H. May 8. Cutting - machines for paper; paper, winding.- In a machine for wrapping-up oranges &c., of the kind described in Specification No. 9867, A.D. 1904, [Abridgment Class Packing &c.], the wrapping-paper is drawn from the roll j, Fig. 1, by feedrollers e, e<1>, Fig. 20, intermittently driven from a reciprocating toothed rack e<9>. A toothed clutch which is mounted on the spindle of the roller e' and is operated by helical gearing, is so arranged that the rack e<9> turns the rollers e, e' in one direction only. The roll j is provided with a let-off device consisting of a roller j<x>, carried by pivoted arms j<1>, which fall by gravity when the feedrollers e, e<1> are at rest and thus draw off a predetermined length of paper from the roll j. The weight of the arms j<1> is partially overcome by a balance-weight. As the arms j<1> fall, the brakeband j<4> is gradually tightened round the drum j<3> to bring the roll j to rest. After passing through the rollers e, e', the wrapping-paper is cut into lengths by a vertically-reciprocating serrated blade d, Fig. 20, carrying spring-supported clamping-bars d<10>, which engage the paper immediately in front and behind the cutting-blade. The cut wrappers are carried away by two pairs of intermittently-moving endless bands h, g<2>, Fig. 1, which engage both edges of the wrappers and bave a surface speed greater than that of the rollers e, e'. The pairs of endless bands are slightly divergent and they thus tend to draw out any wrinkles in the wrappers. If the paper is fed to the rollers e, e<1> in a wrinkled condition, the pivoted arm m<4>, Fig. 20, which rests on the paper, is lifted. An electric circuit is thereby closed and an electromagnetic arrangement operated to stop the machine. If the web of paper breaks, the pivoted arm o', Fig. 20, falls and the pin o<2> engages with the pin o<3> on the arm m<4> and lifts the latter to close the electric circuit.
