Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Erzeugen einer Perforationsspur in einer laufenden Bahn (2), z.B. Papierbahn, wobei die Perforationsspur sich quer zur Bahnlaufrichtung erstreckt; mit einer drehbar gelagerten Welle (4.1), die an einer Stelle ihres Umfanges einen Perforationskamm (4.3) aufweist, deren Drehachse (4.2) quer zur Bahnlaufrichtung verläuft, und die auf der einen Seite der Papierbahn (2) angeordnet ist; mit einer Bahnstützvorrichtung (4.5), die auf der anderen Seite der Papierbahn angeordnet ist.
Die Erfindung ist gekennzeichnet durch die folgenden Merkmale:
  • die Bahnstützvorrichtung (4.5) ist ein stationärer Körper;
  • die Bahnstützvorrichtung (4.5) weist wenigstens eine Ausnehmung (4.6) auf, in welche die Spitzen (4.7) des Perforationskammes bei dessen Umlauf eintauchen.
