Abstract:
A separation device is usable for separating portions of a material web. The separation device has at least one front clamping device, with at least one front clamping point, and at least one rear clamping device, with at least one rear clamping point, and at least one first stretching element. The separation device can be switched between at least one traversing mode and at least one separation mode by the movement of at least the at least one first stretching device between at least one first traversing position and at least one first separation position. A transport line is the shortest connection between the at least one front clamping point and the at least one rear clamping point, that connection line completely on a vertical reference plane and traversing or running at a tangent to any component of the separation device on the respective same side as one of a transport path provided for the material web and the portions to be separated. The transport line, in the at least one separation mode, is 2 mm longer than in the at least one traversing mode and has the smallest radius of curvature in the at least one separation mode of at least 0.05 mm. A first reference plane and a second reference plane are mutually spaced apart in an axial direction and a first transport line, lying on the first reference plane, and a second transport line, lying on the second reference plane, have different lengths when the first stretching element is located in the at least one first separation position.

Claim (Index 61):
A separating device ( 400 ) for separating sections ( 04 ) from a material web ( 02 ), wherein the separating device ( 400 ) has at least one forward clamping device ( 406 ) with at least one forward clamping point ( 401 ) and at least one rear clamping device ( 404 ) with at least one rear clamping point ( 402 ), and has at least one first stretching element ( 403 ), and wherein by moving at least the at least one first stretching element ( 403 ) between at least one first traversing position and at least one first separation position, the separating device ( 400 ) can be switched between at least one first traversing mode and at least one separation mode, and wherein a transport line is the shortest connection between the at least one forward clamping point ( 401 ) and the at least one rear clamping point ( 402 ), said connection lying entirely within a vertical reference plane and traversing or forming a tangent to any component of the separating device ( 400 ) on the respective same side as a transport path provided for the material web ( 02 ) and/or the sections ( 04 ), characterized in that in the at least one separation mode, the transport line is at least 2 mm longer than in the at least one traversing mode, and in that the separating device ( 400 ) has at least one second stretching element ( 412 ), which is movable between a second traversing position and a second separation position, and in that the separating device ( 400 ) has at least one third stretching element ( 413 ), which is movable between a third traversing position and a third separation position, and in that when the first stretching element ( 403 ) is in the first separation position, and the second stretching element ( 412 ) is in the second separation position, and the third stretching element ( 413 ) is in the third separation position, at least one rectilinear connection between the at least one second stretching element ( 412 ) and the at least one third stretching element ( 413 ) intersects the at least one first stretching element ( 403 ), and in that in the at least one separation mode, the transport line has a minimum radius of curvature of at least 0.05 mm.
