PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Method of and Apparatus for Cutting and
Winding Paper.
I, GEORG GOEBEL of the Firm of Gandenbergersche Machine Fabric,
25, Griesheimer Road, Darmstadt, in the Empire of Germany, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to arrange a machine capable of cutting long
lengths of paper of wide width into narrow strips or ribbons, in a manner that, the
edges are smooth, cut clean and free from dust, und by the said machine to be
enabled to wind the cut strips side by side upon a roller without one strip running
and overlapping the one adjoining.
I accomplish my object in the following manner. The paper to be cut is fed
over a roller having grooves cut therein into which project the cutting edge of
circular rotating knives, the cutting edge of each knife being held against the side
of the respective grooves.
The paper as it passes over the grooved roller is cut into strips by the rotating
circular knives, the strips being kept tight in contact with the circumference of the
grooved roller by another roller which conducts the cut strips to a roller rotating
in contact therewith mounted in adjustable journals in a manner so as to allow the
rolls of cut paper wound thereon to increase in diameter and still keep in contact
with the intermediate roller.
Dated this 14th day of March 1894.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Method of and Apparatus for Cutting and
Winding Paper.
1, GEORG GOEBEL of the Firm of Gandenbergersche, Machine Fabric,
25, Grieshiemer Road, Darmstadt, in the Empire of Germany, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to
be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of this invention is to arrange a machine capable of cutting long
lengths of paper of wide width into narrow strips or ribbons, in a manner that the
edges are smooth, cut clean and free from dust; and by the said machine to be
enabled to wind the cut strips side by side upon a roller without one strip running
and overlapping the one adjoining.
In order that my invention may be fully understood, I will describe the saine in
detail by making reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which
Fig. 1 represents a sectional elevation of such portions of a paper-cutting
machine constructed according to my invention as are necessary to illustrate my
improvement, and
Fig. 2 is a plan of same.

page_text: The paper P. is fed to the machine in the direction of arrow 1, and passes over
the roller F. provided with a number of grooves E. and is cut at the point G. by
the rotating circular knives B. mounted on shaft A. and kept against the sides D.
of the grooves E. by spiral springs or the like C.
The paper P. after being cut into strips or ribbons at point G. is kept in contact
with the circumference of the roller F. by roller H. which conducts the cut paper
to roller W. rotating in adjustable journals with the roll of paper in contact with
the roller H. and in a manner so as to allow the rolls of cut paper wound thereon,
. to increase in diameter and still keep in contact with the intermediate roller H.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is,
1. The combination of the rotating circular knives B. spring C. grooved roller F.
with conducting roller H. and roller W. all arranged substantially in the manner
and for the purpose hereinbefore described and shewn.
2. The method of cutting paper into strips by knives C. rotating against the
side D. of the respective grooves E. substantially in the manner as shown and
described.
