Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'ali­mentation pour une machine travaillant sur une nappe de matériau à l'arrêt, applicable plus particulièrement mais non exclusivement à l'alimentation d'une presse à découper à plat.The present invention relates to a feeding device for a machine working on a sheet of material when stopped, applicable more particularly but not exclusively to the feeding of a flat cutting press.

Dans une presse à découper à plat, qui assure le découpage cyclique d'une nappe continue, imprimée ou non, d'un matériau tel que le carton, cette nappe est générale­ment délivrée en amont, d'une manière continue, à partir d'une bobine. Comme la presse à découper à plat est une machine qui nécessite un arrêt momentané du défilement de la nappe de matériau, pendant l'opération de découpage, il se produit, en raison de l'alimentation continue, une accumula­tion du matériau à découper, en amont de la presse à décou­per. Pour pouvoir accumuler la longueur de nappe débitée en amont, tandis qu'une partie aval de cette nappe se trouve à l'arrêt dans la presse à découper à plat, on a déjà conçu divers dispositifs qui permettent de stocker la longueur excédentaire de la nappe sous la forme d'une boucle de lon­gueur variable. Cette boucle s'allonge pendant l'arrêt de la presse à découper et elle se raccourcit dès que l'alimenta­tion de la presse à découper reprend, en vue d'une opéra­tion de découpage subséquente, ces opérations se déroulant cycliquement. Le non maintien de la nappe occasionne alors des défauts de positionnement de la nappe dès que la vitesse de fonctionnement s'élève.In a flat cutting press, which ensures the cyclic cutting of a continuous web, printed or not, of a material such as cardboard, this web is generally delivered upstream, in a continuous manner, from a coil. As the flat cutting press is a machine which requires a temporary stop of the running of the sheet of material, during the cutting operation, there occurs, due to the continuous feeding, an accumulation of the material to be cut, in upstream of the cutting press. In order to be able to accumulate the length of ply fed upstream, while a downstream part of this ply is at a standstill in the flat cutting press, various devices have already been designed which make it possible to store the excess length of the ply in the form of a variable length loop. This loop lengthens during the shutdown of the cutting press and it shortens as soon as the supply of the cutting press resumes, for a subsequent cutting operation, these operations taking place cyclically. Failure to maintain the tablecloth then causes defects in the positioning of the tablecloth as soon as the operating speed increases.

Pour pallier cet inconvénient des dispositifs évi­tant la formation d'une boucle libre, à l'aide d'un méca­nisme de compensation comportant un cylindre mobile absor­bant cette boucle, ont été envisagés. Un dispositif particu­lier de ce type, décrit dans le brevet FR-A-2 408 538, utilise une solution introduisant un glissement minimal de la nappe sur le cylindre solidaire du mécanisme de compen­sation, pour un format de découpage déterminé mais par con­tre ce glissement devient important si le format du découpa­ge varie. Par ailleurs un tel dispositif exige un arrêt de la machine pour permettre son réglage, il comprend un méca­ nisme complexe et une double commande de chaque côté. Il en résulte qu'un tel dispositif est relativement complexe et peu commode à mettre en oeuvre.To overcome this drawback, devices have been envisaged which avoid the formation of a free loop, using a compensation mechanism comprising a movable cylinder absorbing this loop. A particular device of this type, described in patent FR-A-2 408 538, uses a solution introducing a minimum sliding of the ply on the cylinder integral with the compensation mechanism, for a determined cutting format but on the other hand this sliding becomes important if the cutting format varies. Furthermore, such a device requires a stop of the machine to allow its adjustment, it includes a mechanism complex nism and a double command on each side. As a result, such a device is relatively complex and inconvenient to implement.

La présente invention vise à remédier à ces inconvé­nients en procurant un dispositif de conception particuliè­rement simple, permettant un réglage aisé pour son adapta­tion à des formats différents, ce réglage pouvant même être terminé en marche.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by providing a device with a particularly simple design, allowing easy adjustment for its adaptation to different formats, this adjustment even being able to be completed on the fly.

A cet effet ce dispositif d'alimentation pour une machine travaillant sur une nappe de matériau à l'arrêt, notamment pour une presse à découper à plat, cette nappe étant débitée en continu, en amont de la machine, en passant entre une paire de cylindres d'appel et contrepartie, d'a­xes horizontaux et transversaux, tangents l'un à l'autre, entraînés en rotation à une vitesse périphérique constante, est caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte, au voisinage du cylin­dre d'appel et du côté aval de celui-ci, dans le sens de défilement de la nappe, un cylindre oscillant monté à rota­tion sur un support pouvant osciller autour de l'axe du cylindre d'appel, ce cylindre oscillant étant entraîné en rotation sur lui-même à partir du cylindre d'appel, par l'intermédiaire d'un mécanisme de transmission, de telle façon que la vitesse périphérique du cylindre oscillant soit identique à celle de la nappe de matériau s'enroulant au­tour d'une partie de la périphérie de ce cylindre oscillant et étant ainsi toujours en contact sans glissement avec la surface du cylindre oscillant, des moyens pour provoquer un mouvement d'oscillation du support et du cylindre qu'il porte, des moyens de maintien de la tension de la nappe disposés à l'entrée de la machine et des moyens pour comman­der cycliquement le mouvement d'oscillation du support et du cylindre oscillant qu'il porte de façon que la longueur du trajet de la nappe, entre le cylindre d'appel et la ma­chine, soit allongée ou raccourcie pour donner la loi dési­rée pour l'avance de la nappe dans la machine, loi compor­tant notamment une phase d'arrêt dans la machine.To this end, this supply device for a machine working on a sheet of material at a standstill, in particular for a flat blanking press, this sheet being continuously supplied, upstream of the machine, passing between a pair of call cylinders and counterpart, of horizontal and transverse axes, tangent to one another, driven in rotation at a constant peripheral speed, is characterized in that it comprises, in the vicinity of the call cylinder and the downstream side thereof, in the direction of travel of the web, an oscillating cylinder mounted for rotation on a support which can oscillate around the axis of the call cylinder, this oscillating cylinder being driven in rotation on itself at from the call cylinder, by means of a transmission mechanism, so that the peripheral speed of the oscillating cylinder is identical to that of the sheet of material winding around a part of the periphery of this oscillating cylinder and thus always being s in non-sliding contact with the surface of the oscillating cylinder, means for causing an oscillating movement of the support and of the cylinder which it carries, means for maintaining the tension of the ply arranged at the inlet of the machine and means for cyclically controlling the oscillation movement of the support and of the oscillating cylinder which it carries so that the length of the path of the web, between the call cylinder and the machine, is lengthened or shortened to give the desired law for advancing the web in the machine, law including in particular a stop phase in the machine.

Le dispositif suivant l'invention offre l'avantage que, quel que soit le format de l'opération effectuée dans la machine, par exemple le format du découpage, il ne se produit aucun glissement entre la nappe de matériau découpé et le cylindre oscillant du fait que ce dernier est tou­jours entraîné en rotation à la même vitesse périphérique que le cylindre d'appel, à partir de celui-ci. Cette absen­ce de glissement évite d'altérer l'impression dans le cas d'une nappe imprimée qui est en contact avec le cylindre oscillant par sa face imprimée et elle permet de conserver le positionnement relatif de la nappe dans la machine de découpage par rapport aux autres appareils en amont. Par ailleurs la commande du mouvement d'oscillation du cylindre oscillant est prévue d'un seul côté du dispositif, ce qui entraîne une grande simplification. Egalement le dispositif d'alimentation comporte des moyens permettant d'ajuster d'une manière fine, pendant la marche du dispositif, le réglage de l'amplitude du mouvement d'oscillation du cylin­dre oscillant.Ces moyens de réglage fin en marche permettent en outre de réaliser aisément un asservissement du disposi­tif à une grandeur quelconque telle que la tension de la nappe.The device according to the invention offers the advantage that, whatever the format of the operation carried out in the machine, for example the format of the cutting, there is no sliding between the sheet of cut material and the oscillating cylinder of the fact that the latter is always rotated at the same peripheral speed as the call cylinder, from the latter. This absence of sliding avoids altering the printing in the case of a printed web which is in contact with the oscillating cylinder by its printed face and it makes it possible to maintain the relative positioning of the web in the cutting machine with respect to the other devices upstream. Furthermore, the control of the oscillation movement of the oscillating cylinder is provided on one side of the device, which results in a great simplification. The supply device also includes means allowing fine adjustment, during the operation of the device, of the adjustment of the amplitude of the oscillating movement of the oscillating cylinder. easily realize a servo of the device to any size such as the tension of the sheet.

Un autre avantage procuré par le dispositif suivant l'invention est que la loi d'avancement de la nappe comporte une phase d'accélération dans laquelle la valeur instantanée de l'accélération est contrôlée notamment pour qu'au démar­rage de la nappe, qui est une phase critique puisqu'il faut assurer le décollement de la nappe de l'outil de la machine, cette accélération ait une valeur faible et qu'elle croisse ensuite progressivement.Another advantage provided by the device according to the invention is that the law of advancement of the sheet comprises an acceleration phase in which the instantaneous value of the acceleration is controlled in particular so that at the start of the sheet, which is a critical phase since it is necessary to ensure detachment of the web of the machine tool, this acceleration has a low value and that it then increases gradually.

Various embodiments of the present invention will be described below, by way of nonlimiting examples, with reference to the appended drawing in which:
  • Figure 1 is a schematic elevational view of a supply device for a machine working on a sheet of stationary material, according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a vertical and cross sectional view taken along line II-II of Figure 1, the oscillating cylinder being assumed to be aligned vertically below the call cylinder.

Le dispositif suivant l'invention est destiné à assurer l'alimentation intermittente d'une nappe l d'un matériau quelconque, imprimée ou non, qui est travaillée à l'arrêt par une machine 2 située en aval, telle que par exemple une presse à découper à plat. La nappe 1 est fournie en continu en amont, à une vitesse constante v, à partir d'une source quelconque, tel qu'un dévidoir, et elle se déplace de la droite vers la gauche sur la figure 1, en direction de la machine de façonnage 2.The device according to the invention is intended to ensure the intermittent supply of a sheet l of any material, printed or not, which is worked at standstill by a machine 2 located downstream, such as for example a press to cut flat. The sheet 1 is supplied continuously upstream, at a constant speed v, from any source, such as a reel, and it moves from right to left in FIG. 1, towards the machine shaping 2.

Le dispositif d'alimentation suivant l'invention comprend deux cylindres tangents horizontaux et transver­saux entre lesquels passe la nappe, à savoir un cylindre d'appel inférieur 3 et un cylindre contrepartie supérieur 4. Le cylindre d'appel 3, qui est situé sous la nappe, est entraîné en rotation, à partir de la machine précédente, qui est par exemple un dévidoir, par l'intermédiaire d'une transmission mécanique représentée schématiquement sur la figure 1 et désignée dans son ensemble par la référence C. Le cylindre d'appel 3 est solidaire d'un engrenage coaxial 5 qui est en prise avec un engrenage coaxial 6 solidaire d'un cylindre oscillant 7 situé au-dessus de la nappe 1 si bien que les deux cylindres 3 et 7 tournent en sens inverse. Le rapport des diamètres primitifs de ces engrenages 5,6 cor­respond à celui des diamètres des deux cylindres 3 et 7 de manière que ceux-ci tournent toujours à la même vitesse périphérique.The feed device according to the invention comprises two tangent horizontal and transverse cylinders between which the web passes, namely a lower call cylinder 3 and an upper counter cylinder 4. The call cylinder 3, which is located under the sheet, is rotated from the previous machine, which is for example a reel, by means of a mechanical transmission shown schematically in Figure 1 and designated as a whole by the reference C. The cylinder call 3 is secured to a coaxial gear 5 which is engaged with a coaxial gear 6 secured to an oscillating cylinder 7 located above the ply 1 so that the two cylinders 3 and 7 rotate in opposite directions. The ratio of the pitch diameters of these gears 5,6 corresponds to that of the diameters of the two cylinders 3 and 7 so that they always rotate at the same peripheral speed.

Le cylindre oscillant 7 est monté à rotation sur un support comportant une paire de bras parallèles 8 entre les extrémités desquels s'étend le cylindre oscillant 7. Les bras parallèles 8 sont fixés radialement aux deux extrémi­ tés d'un arbre creux 9, horizontal et transversal, traver­sant coaxialement de part en part le cylindre d'appel 3. Toutefois cette disposition n'est pas limitative et le sup­port du cylindre oscillant 7 pourrait ne comporter qu'un seul bras radial 8, le cylindre oscillant 7 étant alors monté en porte-à-faux sur ce bras unique 8. Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 2, le cylindre d'appel 3 est monté à rotation sur l'arbre creux 9 par l'intermédiaire de roule­ments 11. L'arbre creux 9 est lui-même monté oscillant dans des montants d'un bâti 12, par l'intermédiaire de roulements 13.The oscillating cylinder 7 is rotatably mounted on a support comprising a pair of parallel arms 8 between the ends of which the oscillating cylinder 7 extends. The parallel arms 8 are fixed radially to the two extremi tees of a hollow shaft 9, horizontal and transverse, passing coaxially right through the call cylinder 3. However, this arrangement is not limiting and the support of the oscillating cylinder 7 could comprise only one radial arm 8 , the oscillating cylinder 7 then being mounted in cantilever on this single arm 8. As can be seen in FIG. 2, the call cylinder 3 is rotatably mounted on the hollow shaft 9 via of bearings 11. The hollow shaft 9 is itself mounted to oscillate in the uprights of a frame 12, by means of bearings 13.

L'arbre creux 9 qui porte les bras 8 et par consé­quent le cylindre oscillant 7, est solidaire, à l'une de ses extrémités, en l'occurrence à son extrémité droite sur la figure 2, d'un levier radial 14 par lequel un mouvement d'oscillation est transmis aux bras 8. Sur ce levier 14 est fixée, dans une position longitudinale réglable, une coulis­se radiale 15, au moyen de vis 16. A l'extrémité de cette coulisse 15 est monté un coulisseau 17 qui peut être déplacé radialement sur des patins à aiguilles 18. Ce coulisseau 17 est solidaire de l'extrémité inférieure d'une tige filetée 19 qui s'étend le long de la coulisse 15 et du levier 14 et qui est en prise, à proximité de l'axe d'oscillation de ce levier 14, avec un écrou 21 lui-même solidaire d'une poulie dentéecoaxiale 22 entourant la partie supérieure de la tige filetée de réglage 19. Cette poulie dentée 22 est accouplée, par l'intermédiaire d'une courroie crantée 23 s'étendant de part en part à travers l'arbre creux 9, à une autre poulie dentée 24 située de l'autre côté du bâti du dispositif et qui peut être entraînée en rotation par un mécanisme de commande approprié non représenté.The hollow shaft 9 which carries the arms 8 and consequently the oscillating cylinder 7, is secured, at one of its ends, in this case at its straight end in FIG. 2, to a radial lever 14 by which an oscillating movement is transmitted to the arms 8. On this lever 14 is fixed, in an adjustable longitudinal position, a radial slide 15, by means of screws 16. At the end of this slide 15 is mounted a slide 17 which can be moved radially on needle shoes 18. This slide 17 is integral with the lower end of a threaded rod 19 which extends along the slide 15 and the lever 14 and which is engaged, near the 'axis of oscillation of this lever 14, with a nut 21 itself secured to a toothed-axial pulley 22 surrounding the upper part of the threaded adjustment rod 19. This toothed pulley 22 is coupled, by means of a toothed belt 23 extending right through the hollow shaft 9, to another pulley e tooth 24 located on the other side of the device frame and which can be rotated by a suitable control mechanism not shown.

Le coulisseau 17 est solidaire d'un axe horizontal et transversal 25 sur lequel est articulée, par l'intermé­diaire de roulements 26, une extrémité d'une bielle 27. L'autre extrémité de la bielle 27 est articulée sur un mane­ton 28 lui-même articulé, autour d'un axe 29, sur un tambour 31 tournant autour d'un axe horizontal et transversal 32, ce tambour 31 étant entraîné à partir de la commande générale C du dispositif. Le maneton 28 porte, à son extrémité libre, deux galets de came 33,34 lesquels roulent respectivement, dans deux plans transversaux différents, à l'intérieur d'une came fixe 35 et à l'extérieur d'une contre-came fixe 36, ces deux cames ayant un profil calculé en fonction de la loi de mouvement désirée.The slide 17 is integral with a horizontal and transverse axis 25 on which is articulated, by means of bearings 26, one end of a connecting rod 27. The other end of the connecting rod 27 is articulated on a crank pin 28 itself same articulated, around an axis 29, on a drum 31 rotating around a horizontal and transverse axis 32, this drum 31 being driven from the general control C of the device. The crank pin 28 carries, at its free end, two cam rollers 33, 34 which roll respectively, in two different transverse planes, inside a fixed cam 35 and outside a fixed cam follower 36 , these two cams having a profile calculated according to the desired law of motion.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 1 la nappe 1 passe à la vitesse constante v entre le cylindre d'appel 3 et le cylindre contrepartie supérieur 4, elle s'enroule sur une partie de la surface périphérique du cylindre d'appel 3, puis elle passe autour de la moitié de la surface périphéri­que du cylindre oscillant 7, qui tourne à la même vitesse périphérique v que le cylindre 3, du fait de leur accouple­ment par les deux engrenages 5,6. Après s'être enroulée sous le cylindre oscillant 7, la nappe remonte vers la gau­che et passe sur une partie de la périphérie d'un cylindre aspirant ou cylindre "glissant" 37 assurant le maintien permanent en tension de la nappe 1 avant l'entrée dans la machine 2. Ce cylindre aspirant 37 tourne constamment à une vitesse périphérique vt supérieure à celle v de la nappe. A l'intérieur du cylindre aspirant 37 se trouve un caisson d'aspiration 38 relié à une source de vide. Ce cais­son d'aspiration 38 est en contact avec une partie de la surface interne du cylindre 37 dont la surface latérale est percée de trous 39. La position du caisson d'aspiration 38 et son extension dans le sens de rotation du cylindre aspi­rant 37 correspondent à la zone de contact de la nappe sur la surface périphérique du cylindre aspirant 37.As can be seen in FIG. 1, the ply 1 passes at constant speed v between the call cylinder 3 and the upper counterpart cylinder 4, it is wound on a part of the peripheral surface of the call cylinder 3, then it passes around half of the peripheral surface of the oscillating cylinder 7, which rotates at the same peripheral speed v as the cylinder 3, due to their coupling by the two gears 5,6. After being rolled up under the oscillating cylinder 7, the ply rises to the left and passes over a part of the periphery of a suction cylinder or "sliding" cylinder 37 ensuring the permanent tensioning of the ply 1 before entry in the machine 2. This suction cylinder 37 constantly rotates at a peripheral speed v t greater than that v of the sheet. Inside the suction cylinder 37 is a suction box 38 connected to a source of vacuum. This suction box 38 is in contact with a part of the internal surface of the cylinder 37 whose side surface is pierced with holes 39. The position of the suction box 38 and its extension in the direction of rotation of the suction cylinder 37 correspond to the zone of contact of the ply on the peripheral surface of the suction cylinder 37.

Lorsque la nappe 2 doit être arrêtée pendant un certain temps dans la machine de façonnage 2, telle qu'une presse à découper à plat, le mécanisme de commande du cy­lindre oscillant 7 provoque un déplacement de ce cylindre vers le bas et vers la droite pour allonger le trajet de la nappe entre le cylindre d'appel 3 et le cylindre aspirant 37, du fait qu'en amont la nappe 1 continue à être débitée à la même vitesse v. Comme la vitesse périphérique du cylindre oscillant 7, qui est entraîné en rotation à partir du cylin­dre d'appel 3, est égale à la vitesse périphérique de ce cylindre d'appel 3, c'est-à-dire à la vitesse propre de la nappe 1, il ne se produit, durant ce mouvement de pivotement des bras 8 vers le bas et de descente du cylindre oscillant 7, aucun glissement entre la face supérieure imprimée de la nappe 1 et le cylindre oscillant 7.When the web 2 has to be stopped for a certain time in the shaping machine 2, such as a flat cutting press, the control mechanism of the oscillating cylinder 7 causes this cylinder to move down and to the right to lengthen the path of the sheet between the call cylinder 3 and the suction cylinder 37, because upstream the sheet 1 continues to be delivered at the same speed v. As the peripheral speed of the oscillating cylinder 7, which is rotated from the call cylinder 3, is equal to the peripheral speed of this call cylinder 3, that is to say at the natural speed of the ply 1, during this pivoting movement of the arms 8 down and downward of the oscillating cylinder 7, there is no sliding between the printed upper side of the ply 1 and the oscillating cylinder 7.

Une fois terminée l'opération (découpage par exem­ple) dans la machine 2, l'avancement de la nappe dans la machine 2 reprend et à ce moment les bras 8 et le cylindre oscillant 7 sont realentis et dès que la vitesse de la nappe dans la machine 2 est supérieure à la vitesse v, ils remon­tent,ce qui raccourcit le trajet de la nappe. Une fois la nappe 1 avancée, dans la machine 2, de la longueur désirée correspondant au format, cette nappe est arrêtée dans la machine 2, comme précédemment, et par suite de la redescente du cylindre oscillant 7 le cycle d'allongement du trajet de la nappe reprend et ainsi de suite.Once the operation is complete (cutting for example) in machine 2, the advancement of the ply in machine 2 resumes and at this time the arms 8 and the oscillating cylinder 7 are realized and as soon as the speed of the ply in machine 2 is greater than speed v, they go back up, which shortens the path of the sheet. Once the ply 1 advanced, in the machine 2, of the desired length corresponding to the format, this ply is stopped in the machine 2, as before, and as a result of the lowering of the oscillating cylinder 7 the lengthening cycle of the path of the tablecloth resumes and so on.

Le cylindre oscillant 7 a un mouvement d'oscillation dont la période correspond au cycle d'avance intermittente de la nappe 1 dans la machine de façonnage 2. Le mouvement de pivotement des bras 8 et du cylindre oscillant 7 qu'ils portent, autour de l'axe du cylindre d'appel 3, est com­mandé par la rotation du tambour 31 qui est entraîné en rotation à partir de la commande générale C. L'amplitude de l'oscillation des bras 8 et du cylindre oscillant 7 qui est fonction du format, dépend de la distance entre l'axe 25 d'articulation de la bielle 27 sur le coulisseau 17, et l'axe d'oscillation, c'est-à-dire l'axe du cylindre d'appel 3. Cette distance peut être réglée d'une manière grossière, à l'arrêt du dispositif, en ajustant la position longitudi­nale de la coulisse 15 sur le levier 14 et en bloquant la coulisse 15 dans la position appropriée, au moyen des vis 16. Egalement on modifie le calage angulaire des cames 35,36. A ce réglage grossier peut s'ajouter un réglage fin qui peut être effectué pendant la marchedu dispositif. Ce réglage fin est réalisé, en cours de marche, en entraînant en rotation la poulie menante 24 qui transmet son mouvement, par l'intermédaire de la courroie crantée 23, à l'autre poulie crantée 22 elle-même solidaire de l'écrou 21 vissé sur la tige filetée 19. La rotation de l'écrou 21 se traduit par conséquent par une translation de la tige 19 et du cou­lisseau 17 qu'elle porte. La courroie crantée 23 permet d'effectuer aisément ce réglage fin en marche du fait qu'elle peut se déformer pour suivre le mouvement d'oscil­lation des bras 8. Ces moyens de réglage fin en marche permettent en outre de réaliser éventuellement un asservis­sement du dispositif à une grandeur quelconque, telle que la tension de la nappe. A cet effet, comme il est représenté schématiquement sur la figure 2, la poulie menante 24 peut être accouplée à l'arbre d'un servomoteur 37 alimenté élec­triquement par un dispositif 38 relié à un capteur 39 de la tension de la nappe 1, de manière à faire tourner la poulie menante 24 et à modifier par conséquent le réglage de l'am­plitude d'oscillation en fonction de la tension de la nappe.The oscillating cylinder 7 has an oscillating movement, the period of which corresponds to the intermittent advance cycle of the ply 1 in the shaping machine 2. The pivoting movement of the arms 8 and of the oscillating cylinder 7 which they carry, around the axis of the call cylinder 3 is controlled by the rotation of the drum 31 which is rotated from the general control C. The amplitude of the oscillation of the arms 8 and of the oscillating cylinder 7 which is a function of the format, depends on the distance between the axis 25 of articulation of the connecting rod 27 on the slide 17, and the axis of oscillation, that is to say the axis of the call cylinder 3. This distance can be adjusted roughly, when the device is stopped, by adjusting the longitudinal position of the slide 15 on the lever 14 and by locking the slide 15 in the appropriate position, by means of the screws 16. Also the angular setting of the cams 35.36. To this coarse adjustment can be added a fine adjustment which can be carried out during the operation of the device. This fine adjustment is carried out, during operation, by rotating the driving pulley 24 which transmits its movement, by means of the toothed belt 23, to the other toothed pulley 22 itself secured to the nut 21 screwed on the threaded rod 19. The rotation of the nut 21 consequently results in a translation of the rod 19 and of the slide 17 which it carries. The toothed belt 23 allows this fine adjustment to be carried out easily on the fact that it can be deformed to follow the oscillation movement of the arms 8. These fine adjustment means in operation also make it possible to optionally provide servo-control of the device. to any size, such as the web tension. To this end, as shown diagrammatically in FIG. 2, the driving pulley 24 can be coupled to the shaft of a servomotor 37 supplied electrically by a device 38 connected to a sensor 39 of the tension of the ply 1, of so as to rotate the driving pulley 24 and consequently modify the setting of the amplitude of oscillation as a function of the tension of the ply.

Dans la variante d'exécution de l'invention repré­sentée sur la figure 4, le cylindre oscillant 7 est monté, sur les bras 8, relativement éloigné du cylindre d'appel 3 qui est dans ce cas situé au-dessus de la nappe 1 comme le cylindre oscillant 7. Les deux cylindres 7 et 3 sond accou­plés par l'intermédiaire d'un mécanisme de transmission 41 assurant l'entraînement en rotation du cylindre oscillant 7 dans le même sens et à la même vitesse périphérique que le cylindre d'appel 3. Le mécanisme de transmission 41 peut être constitué par un train d'engrenages, une courroie cran­tée sans fin passant sur deux roues dentées respectivement solidaires des deux cylindres 3 et 7 etc...In the alternative embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 4, the oscillating cylinder 7 is mounted, on the arms 8, relatively distant from the call cylinder 3 which is in this case located above the ply 1 as the oscillating cylinder 7. The two cylinders 7 and 3 probe coupled by means of a transmission mechanism 41 ensuring the rotary drive of the oscillating cylinder 7 in the same direction and at the same peripheral speed as the call cylinder 3. The transmission mechanism 41 may consist of a gear train, an endless toothed belt passing over two toothed wheels respectively secured to the two cylinders 3 and 7, etc.
