Title: Improvements relating to Machines for Applying Metallic Leaf.
Inventor: BROOKE ALEC
IPC: B44B5/00
Filed: 1915-09-03
Abstract: 12,648. Brooke, A. Sept. 3. [Addition to 25,565/13.] Feeding and registering webs.-To enable long pieces of metallic leaf to be fed in perfect register with the impressing-device of the machine described in the parent Specification, the leaf is fed by a device capable of imparting a number of feeding movements to the leaf during each complete operation of the impressing-device. As shown, one or more backing- strips 13 carrying the leaf are fed across a table 3 by feeding-devices, each comprising an oscillating quadrantal arm 8 carrying pins 11, 12 adjustable in slots 9. The arm 8 is given a complete oscillation for each complete oscillation of the impressing-device 1, by means of a cam 17 and linkage 29, 30 so that the pins 1 1, 12 deflect the strip 13 from its normal path and thus impart two pulling movements to the leaf during each complete oscillation of the arm 8. Constantly rotating friction rollers 30 draw the strip taut after each pulling movement, the strip being simultaneously held by a cam-operated clamp 37. A similar clamp 35 holds the strip during the feeding movements, and the clamps are operated alternately so that one is open when the other is closed. The strip is supported during its deflections by two pairs of rods 52 preferably removable to facilitate the threading of the strip through the machine. The pins 11, 12 are adjusted so that the sum of two successive pulling movements is equal to the required length of the leaf, and in order to feed the severed portion into exact registration with the impressing- device, one of the pins 11, 12 is set so that the feed movement imparted by it is equal to the difference between the distance from the knife 4 to the leading edge of the leaf when in registered position, and the nearest multiple of the length of the severed portion. The impressing-device 1 oscillates between the table 3 and the work table 2 as described in the parent Specification, and the knife 4 and impressing-device act alternately, so that a pulling movement of the leaf takes place between each action. The arm 8 may be provided with a scale to facilitate the setting of the pins 11, 12 and may be adjustable axially and angularly of its supporting-shaft 14.
