Definitions
- This invention relates to web handling apparatus of the type comprising a pair of sprocket wheels spaced on opposite sides of the machine and which have a plurality pins of projecting therefrom and equispaced around the periphery of each sprocket wheel for engaging with a line of equispaced holes down each side of the web of material which is to be fed through the machine by the drive to the sprocket wheels. More particularly, this invention relates to a web of material, usually but not necessarily a web of sign making stock, for use with such apparatus having a line of sprocket holes down each side of engagement by the sprocket wheel of the web handling apparatus.
- each sprocket wheel with an extra registration pin, or possibly two extra registration pins between an adjacent pair or adjacent pairs of drive pins, thus providing a visually distinct group of three or five pins, distinguished from the other pins around the sprocket wheel, by virtue of a different spacing therebetween.
- the extra registration pins are located at the midpoint between two adjacent drive pins, so that the visually distinct group of three (two drive and one registration) pins or five (three drive and two registration) pins is distinguishing by an interpin spacing of D /2 where D is the normal pin spacing, i.e. the normal spacing of all drive pins around the periphery of the sprocket wheel.
- the web for use in the Gerber apparatus has at intervals along the length of the web equal to the circumference of the sprocket wheels an extra registration hole, or as the case may be, two extra registration holes, on the same line as the line sprocket drive holes down each side of the web, and located between an adjacent pair, or two immediately adjacent pairs of drive holes, and again preferably at a spacing of D /2.
- the web thus has, down each side, at the appropriate intervals corresponding to the circumference of the sprocket wheels, a visually distinct group of three or five holes aligned with each other across the width of the web.
- the present invention seeks to provide a web configuration which will fit equally well onto the apparatus of the Gerber type, i.e. having an extra registration pin, or possibly two, on each sprocket wheel, in line with and spaced between an adjacent pair, or between two immediately adjacent pairs, preferably at a spacing D /2, although that is quite immaterial as far as the present invention is concerned, or on apparatus with the more usual form of sprocket drive.
- the web configuration of this invention is shown in the accompanying drawing, which is a plan view of a web (1), e.g. a web sign making stock, although the material from which the web is constructed is wholly immaterial to the present invention, of indefinite width, i.e. whatever width is appropriate to fit a particular apparatus, and indefinite length, and having a line of equispaced sprocket drive pin holes (2,2') down each side and spaced inwardly in distance "d" from the edge of the web.
- d is immaterial and will depend on the intersprocket spacing of the apparatus concerned and the overall width of the web. Usually, "d” will be of the order of 1-2 cms.
- each line of sprocket pin holes (2,2'), and down each side of the web are elongated slots (3,3') equispaced between each adjacent pair of sprocket pin holes (2,2') having a length "1" (see the enlargement) that is equal to or less than D-2r, where D is the interhole spacing and "r" is the radius of the sprocket pin holes, and a width "2r", i.e. a width that is equal to the diameter of the sprocket drive holes.
- each slot (3,3') When considered along the length of the web, the opposite ends of each slot (3,3') are inwardly arcuate at a radius r' that is preferably equal to r.
- each of the slots (3,3') is separated from its adjacent sprocket pin holes (2,2') by an arcuate web of material (4,4') having a uniform width "w", measured in the longitudinal direction of the web that is equal to at least 2mm, thereby to give the web adequate longitudinal strength.
- the elongated slots (3,3') When loaded with a web according to the present invention, the elongated slots (3,3') will permit the web to be driven quite smoothly through the apparatus in the normal, conventional manner, i.e. by the equispaced drive pins on each sprocket engaging the drive holes (2,2') on the web.
- the elongated slots (3,3') are simply there to permit the web to run over the extra registration pins(s) on each sprocket wheel, but serve no other purpose. In particular they do not serve the purpose nor the function of the extra registration holes as taught by the Gerber patent, since the slots (3,3') are incapable of distinguishing adjacent pairs of sprocket holes anywhere along the length of the web.
- the slots (3,3') therefore do not serve any registration purpose or function.
- a registration function can be provided in known manner, by providing an indicator mark at equal intervals along each edge of the web adjacent opposite pairs of drive holes (2,2').
- Such an indicator is shown at (5,5') comprising an extra hole at intervals along each edge of the web at a longitudinal spacing equal to the circumference of the sprockets, and at a distance d' from the edge of the web where d' is greater (or less) than d by an amount greater than r + r i , where r i is the radius of the indicator hole.
- d' is greater than d+r+r i , i.e.
- the lines of the indicator holes (5,5') are preferably inset relative to the lines of the sprocket drive holes (2,2').
- the indicator or registration holes (5,5'), or other indicator or registration marks such as a line or arrow printed at intervals along the length of the web, will be at an intermark spacing of xD, where x is an integer greater than 1 and D is the interhole spacing, corresponding of course to the interpin spacing on the sprocket drive wheels.
- the intermark spacing will be equal to nxD, where x or D are as defined and n is the number of drive pins on each sprocket, or in other words, the intermark spacing is equal to the circumference of the sprocket wheels.

Abstract
Claims (3)
- Bande (1) de matériau de signalisation de longueur indéfinie pour utilisation avec un appareil de manutention de bandes du type comprenant une paire de roues d'entraînement à picots espacées, ladite bande comportant des lignes de perforations d'entraînement de picots de roues (2, 2') le long de la bande vers l'intérieur des bords opposés de la bande pour engagement avec les picots de roues des entraînements à roues de l'appareil de manutention de bandes, et entre chaque perforation d'entraînement de picot de roue (2, 2') dans chaque bord de la bande, une fente allongée (3, 3') ayant une largeur, dans la direction transversale de la bande, sensiblement égale à 2r, où r est le rayon des perforations d'entraînement, et une longueur, dans la direction longitudinale de la bande, qui est inférieure à D-2r où D est l'espacement entre les perforations et r est comme défini ci-dessus, dans laquelle les extrémités opposées de chaque fente (3, 3'), dans la direction longitudinale de la bande, sont arquées vers l'intérieur à un rayon r¹ où r¹=r, ce qui laisse entre chaque fente (3, 3') et chaque perforation d'entraînement (2, 2') une bande arquée ininterrompue (4, 4') de matériau ayant une largeur uniforme (w), dans la direction longitudinale de la bande, d'au moins 2mm.
- Bande selon la revendication 1, dans laquelle, à intervalles réguliers le long de la bande (1), et alignés sur les côtés opposés de celle-ci immédiatement adjacents à une des perforations d'entraînement (2, 2') dans chaque ligne de perforations d'entraînement, sont prévus des repères (5, 5') à un espacement entre repères le long de la bande, de xD, où x est un nombre entier supérieur à 1, et D est l'espacement entre perforations.
- Bande selon la revendication 2, dans laquelle les repères se présentent sous la forme de perforations de repère supplémentaires (5, 5') à intervalles le long de la bande (1) égaux à xD et situées sur une ligne espacée vers l'intérieur de chaque bord de la bande d'une distance supérieure à l'espacement des perforations d'entraînement (2, 2') du bord de la bande.
