Definitions

  • This invention relates to an automatic cutting and stacking device for cut shaped blanks and method of use.
  • the equipment is beneficially suitable for the manufacture and handling of cut shaped interlayer blanks.
  • the equipment of this invention comprises: a feeding mechanism generally embodying a surface that feeds accurately a film under a set angle along a set arc into the cutting unit; a cutting unit that cuts the shaped film squarely accross its circular contours; and a stacking system that stacks, in a single planar movement, the blanks at their cut positions.
  • Cut shaped blanks are used in automobile windshields, in particular windshields having a tinted band along the upper side.
  • the originally straight web of for example polyvinyl butyral interlayer
  • the so curved web is subsequently cut to produce the appropriate cut shaped blanks which can be used as interlayer between two sheets of glass for the manufacture of laminated windshields.
  • the cutting and the stacking of such blanks is generally performed manually, chiefly because of the non-linear shape of the blanks in casu two (opposite) sides are circular whereas the (opposite) cut sides are generally straight but not parallel.
  • the invention herein thus relates to an automatic cutting and stacking device for arcuately shaped blanks comprising:
  • the feeding mechanism is, in a preferred embodiment, operated by means of a feeding wheel 12 which propels a set length of film to the cutting device.
  • the cutting device 2 can be represented by a stationary bed knife 21 combined with a traversing rotating knife 22.
  • the angle between the bed knife and the centerline of the feeding wheel shall be adjustable to thus achieve perpendicular cuts for any selected radius.
  • Indexing table 33 provided with base plate 3, is lowered, in a manner synchronized to the operation of the cutting device, by increments substantially corresponding to the thickness of the cut shaped blanks.
  • the base plate supporting the formed stack of cut blanks can be rolled of the indexing table and thus serve for whatever application and/or treatment can be in order.
  • the feeding table, Fig. 1, 1 is equipped with a system that positions the advancing forward edge of the shaped film in such a way into the cutting device that the cut will produce a blank of the desired size.
  • Feeding wheel 12 propels a set length of film along a guide 11 to the cutting device.
  • Pressure roller 13 presses the shaped film against the feeding wheel to thus prevent slippage which could alter the set angle for the blank.
  • a separate guide shall be used for each radius.
  • the cutting device 2 can be represented by any type of cutting mechanism which is generally known to be suitable for the automatic cutting of plastic films.
  • the cutting mechanism generally comprises a stationary bed knife and a knife, for example a guillotine knife, or preferably a rotating knife, which runs along the bed knife to thus perform a scissors cut.
  • a stationary bed knife 21 conbined with a traversing rotating knife 22.
  • the position, particularly the rotational orientation, of the cutting unit comprising the stationary bed knife and the counter-knife can be adjusted independently of and in relation to the feeding table by means of any suitable mechanism routinely available such as a vertical axis.
  • the angle between the bed knife and the center line of the feeding wheel is adjustable consequently to allow a perpendicular cut for all radii.
  • the said angle is, for shaped films having a radius between 1 and 8 meters, from 0° to about 18°. Differently expressed, the cutting angle is such that the cut is effected to yield a cut perpendicular to the edges of the contoured film.
  • the feeding wheel 12 is located as close as practical to the bed knife i.e. the exit border of the feeding table 1.
  • the blanks as they are cut from the contoured film are collected on base plate 3.
  • the contoured film is passed through the cutting device via the sliding plate 31 to the base plate until the selected length to be cut is reached.
  • the cut separates the blank from the contoured film.
  • the cut blanks are then superposed on the base plate.
  • the indexing table 33 is lowered in a manner synchronized to the operation of the cutting device.
  • the indexing increments substantially correspond to the thickness of the cut shaped films.
  • the increments can correspond to the thickness of one or more cut shaped blanks. It was found that (individual) indexing increments corresponding to two to ten times the thickness of the cut shaped blanks can be preferred.
  • the slide plate 31 serves to overcome the height difference between bed knife 21 and base plate 3.
  • the slide plate is permanently attached to the indexing table 33.
  • the top of the indexing table is equipped with rollers 32 to thus facilitate the handling of the base plate, in particular the base plate onto which the cut blanks are stacked. While removing the base plate with the blanks, the small section of the blanks resting on the slide plate, follow the movement of the base plate to thus form a square stack of blanks after having left the slide plate.
  • the base plate carrying the stack of cut blanks is now ready for use on the laminating line or whatever application may be in order.
  • a very preferred feeding table herein can be represented by the treatment table in accordance with copending European patent application EP-A-97870135.7, filed Septenber 12, 1997.
  • the shaped films which can be handled by means of the automatic cutting and stackind device herein are preferably represented by plasticized polyvinyl butyral interlayer films.
  • Such fims can be shaped by known manufacturing technics, most preferably in accordance with the dual umbrella shaper technology as described in EP-A-0.685.316.
