PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Machinery for Cutting or Slitting and Re-winding
Paper or similar Material.
GEORGE HIBBERT of 17 The Crescent Gateshead-on-Tyne in the County
of Durham Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
By my invention reels of paper or any similar material can be slit or cut into
any number of widths with perfect edges and re-wound into perfect bard reels
without the edges lapping one on to the other, and free from paper dust, such reels
being suitable for bag making, printing or other purposes.
Of the accompanying drawings
Figure 1 represents a side elevation
Figure 2 represents a plan of the machine.
A represents a reel of paper or other material to be slit into a number of widths
and re-wound.
B, B are stands for carrying the reels, also for carrying the shaft on which is
fixed the moveable frames H. H.
C is a guide roll, clock roll, or damp roll.
D is a tension roll working in a slot and regulates the tension of the material
being used. E E are cross shafts on which are fixed the circular knives for
cutting the paper into widths. On each side of these circular knives I fix a board
for stretching the paper over. F and G are draw rolls for drawing the paper or
other material being operated upon and keeping it in position before going onto
the reel. They are adjusted by levers and weights. H H are frames, one end of
which is fit onto the shaft 6 which working loose in standards B. B allows the
frames to rise and fall as required. The other end I suspend by means of ropes or
chains on pulleys, regulated by balance weights. On these frames are fixed the
rolls C, D, F and G, also the shafts E E with circular knives on. M is a shaft on
which is fixed a tube on which the paper or material being operated upon is
re-reeled. N is a drum made of cast iron, wood or any suitable material with a
shaft through on which is fixed wheels or pulleys by means of which the drum
revolves. On this drum rests the shaft M which revolves with the drum it is
kept in position by guides or slides or is kept tight on the drum by means of the
roll F or G. The weight on the paper can be regulated as required by means of
balance weights.

Improvements in Machinery for Cutting or Slitting and Re-winding
Paper or similar Material.
GEORGE HIBBERT of 17 The Crescent Gateshead-on-Tyne in the County
of Durham, Engineer 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 :-
:
In carrying out my invention I take rolls of paper or other similar material and

page_text: slit or cut them into any number of widths and re-wind them into perfect hard
rolls without the edges lapping one on the other and free from paper dust; such
rolls being suitable for bag making, printing or other purposes for what the
material may be wanted for.
Of the accompanying drawings,-
Fig. 1 represents a side clevation,
Fig. 2 represents a plan of the machine.
A represents a roll of paper or other material to be slit into a number of widths
and re-wound as shown by dotted lines.
B, B are stands or frames for carrying the rolls, also for carrying the shaft b on
which is fixed the moveable frames H H.
C, C are rolls with ends left on so that a clock for measuring the paper can be
fixed on if required or the rolls can be used as guide or damp rolls.
D is a tension roll working in swing guides and so regulates the tension of the
material being reeled.
E, E are cross shafts on which I fix the circular knives for cutting the paper
into widths. On each side of these circular knives I fix a board for stretching the
paper over and so keeping it perfectly straight.
F and G are draw rolls for drawing the paper or other material being operated
upon and keeping it in position before going onto the reel. They are adjusted by
levers and weights.
H H are frames one end of which is fit onto the shaft b which working loose in
the standard B, B, allows the frames to rise and fall as required. The other end
I suspend by means of ropes or chains and pulleys regulated by balance weights,
or the frames H H can be made with long ends at back A2 past the fulcrum b and
be balanced with weights to give the swing frame more tension with the front
weights according to the work it is required to do.
On the frame H H are fixed the rolls C, C, D, F and G, also the shafts E, E
with circular knives on.
M is a shaft on which is fixed a roll or tube on which the paper or other material
being operated upon is re-reeled.
N is a drum made of cast iron, wood or other suitable material, with a shaft
through on which I fit wheels or pulleys by means of which the drum revolves.
On this drum rests the shaft M which lying loose in the bearings and being kept in
position by guides or slides, and tight on the drum by means of the rolls FG.
The weight resting on the paper can be regulated as required by means of balance
weights.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
:-
1st. The combination of the several parts forming the machine herein before
described working on a moveable framing by which the paper or other material is
kept in a perfect position both before and after it is cut or slit.
2nd. The method of adjustment.
3rd. The arrangement of the draw-rolls working on the paper and so keeping it
in position and perfectly free from dust.
GEORGE HIBBERT.
