Definitions

  • the present invention relates to systems and methods for securing product to machine surfaces, and more specifically, to apparatus and methods for securing material to a machine surface (such as a roll) during and after cutting operations of the material on the machine surface.
  • a machine surface such as a roll
  • Material cutting is a common operation performed in many industries, including the paper, textile, plastics, synthetics, and foil industries. Particularly where material is in sheet or flat form, a preferred manner employs one or more rolls around which the material is passed as it is transversely cut.
  • Certain conventional cutting systems have a cutoff roll with one or more surface blades thereon. Material is fed around the rotating cutoff roll, and the material is usually either pinched or sheared between a surface blade and an anvil blade in close proximity to the cutoff roll. Because the demand for processed product is usually high, the speed at which the cutoff roll rotates and at which the material moves is also high. However, because certain materials are inherently difficult to manipulate and control (especially at relatively high material speeds), a number of systems and methods have been developed for releasably holding material to the surface of the cutoff roll as the material is pulled around the rotating cutoff roll.
  • One such conventional system employs a vacuum system for the cutoff roll.
  • a vacuum system for the cutoff roll.
  • a number of holes are located on the exterior surface of the cutoff roll.
  • Vacuum applied to the roll in a manner well-known to those skilled in the art generates a suction through the holes, thereby holding the material against the surface of the roll.
  • conventional systems can be operated to hold or release the material at desired times or at particular cutoff roll rotational positions. While these systems are effective at releasably holding the material, a problem arises in those locations on the cutoff roll which are near the cutoff blades on the roll.
  • material 1 is cut by shearing between the cutoff blade 2 on the cutoff roll 3 (which rotates in the direction of arrow A) and a nearby stationary anvil blade 4.
  • This cutting produces a trailing edge 5 and a leading edge 6 of the cut material 1.
  • the leading edge 6 of the material 1 must be held in place on the cutoff roll 3. If desired, even greater material control and improved manipulation ability can be achieved by holding both the leading edge 6 and the trailing edge 5 of the cut material 1 in place on the cutoff roll 3.
  • Patent numbers 4,041,816 and 4,080,856 issued to Shearon show a system having two rows of vacuum holes behind the cutoff blade for holding the leading end of severed material. While such systems may be effective to hold severed material ends in place on a cutoff roll, their design presents limitations which the present invention addresses. Specifically, in the design of the conventional systems using vacuum holes to hold severed material ends, the systems invariably rely upon the vacuum holes to hold the face of the material near the severed ends. Because the material can slip on the cutoff roll and may not fall exactly in the desired locations over the vacuum holes after being cut, the prior art designs are not always effective to prevent piling up of the material ends (and especially the leading end of the severed material as shown in Figure 1) near the cutoff blades.
  • the prior art designs are inherently limited to operations upon certain types of material.
  • the systems disclosed in the Trogan et al. and Shearon patents noted above often work poorly with multi-ply materials, where the vacuum holes exert a high holding force on the nearest material ply, but exert a progressively lower holding force on overlying plies.
  • these systems can completely fail to work with very porous material (which is not very subject to force by vacuum) or with materials having a ply with very low porosity underlying one or more other plies (which other plies are effectively shielded from the vacuum force by the low porosity ply).
  • material which has been cut by, for example, a cutoff blade on a cutoff roll is held to the surface of the cutoff roll on either or both sides of the cutoff blade by a web attraction device.
  • the web attraction device can take a number of forms, each of which hold the severed end(s) of the material to the cutoff roll surface following the cutting operation.
  • the web attraction device exerts an web attraction force created by an attraction generator.
  • a preferred web attraction device is a vacuum aperture preferably running along at least a portion of the length of the cutoff roll and on one or both sides of the cutoff blade.
  • the vacuum aperture is in the shape of an elongated groove or slot running immediately behind the cutoff blade.
  • the vacuum aperture runs substantially the entire length of the cutoff roll behind the cutoff blade.
  • the vacuum aperture is shaped and positioned behind the cutoff blade to receive the leading edge of the severed material after it has been cut by the cutoff blade. All plies of the leading edge are preferably pulled down into the vacuum aperture rather than merely being held in place on the roll surface by vacuum holes.
  • the present invention holds the ends of the cut material better by pulling the edge or edges of the cut material into one or more vacuum apertures. Also, all plies of multi-ply materials are thereby secured, and even highly porous materials and multi-ply materials having a very low porosity ply are fully held to the roll. The present invention thus ensures that more material types are better secured in place to prevent material pile-ups and potential jamming problems in downstream operations.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a prior art web retention apparatus for a cutoff roll
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the web retention apparatus according to a first prefe ⁇ ed embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the web retention apparatus according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows the stage of material cutting operations after a sheet of material 10 has been severed.
  • the present invention finds particular applicability to cutting operations performed upon sheets of paper (such paper used for tissues, toilet paper, napkins, paper towels, etc.).
  • sheets of paper such paper used for tissues, toilet paper, napkins, paper towels, etc.
  • the present invention also finds applicability in a number of other industries in which cutting operations are performed upon virtually any type of material which can be found in sheet form.
  • Such materials commonly include other paper types, plastic sheeting and the like, and even include cloth, fabrics, textiles, films, rubber and other synthetic materials, foils, etc.
  • web of paper product
  • the term “web” commonly referring to paper product in sheet form such as toilet paper or napkin stock
  • the term “web” is used herein to refer to any material in sheet form regardless of porosity, method of manufacture, or composition, including without limitation paper and paper by-products, cloth, fabric, textiles, foils, films, rubber and other synthetic materials, etc.
  • Web 10 is shown held against the surface 12 of a cutoff roll 14, which itself is mounted for rotation near a stationary anvil 16.
  • the "surface” 12 of the cutoff roll 14 is the outer surface of the cutoff roll 14 in one highly preferred embodiment (which surface can be interrupted by one or more blades or apertures as described below). It will be appreciated by one having ordinary skill in the art that the web 10 is severed as it is rotated by turning the cutoff roll 14 past the stationary anvil 16.
  • the stationary anvil 16 has an anvil blade 18 which preferably is in light interference contact with a cutoff blade 20 mounted in a conventional manner on the cutoff roll 14.
  • the web 10 on the surface 12 of the cutoff roll 14 is severed between the cutoff blade 20 and the anvil blade 18.
  • the areas of the severed web 22, 24 which are remote from the cutoff blade 20 are preferably held against the surface of the cutoff roll 14 in a conventional manner (e.g., via vacuum holes in the cutoff roll 14, not shown).
  • it is possible to secure the web material upon the cutoff roll 14 by only holding the web 10 to the cutoff roll 14 behind the cutoff blade 20 in a manner as described below, with the web material following behind under a light tension around at least a portion of the cutoff roll 14.
  • a leading web edge 26 and a trailing web edge 28 are defined in the web 10 - one on either side of the cutoff blade 20.
  • the web edges 26, 28 are now free to move with respect to the cutoff roll 14.
  • the present invention finds particular applicability to the area behind the cutoff blade 20.
  • the present invention also can be useful in locations in front of the cutoff blade 20 (as described below).
  • the cutoff roll 14 has a web retention device (indicated generally at 40) behind the cutoff blade 20.
  • the web retention device 40 has an aperture 30 preferably in the shape of an elongated groove or slot which preferably runs substantially the entire length of the cutoff roll 14 behind the cutoff blade 20.
  • the aperture 30 is preferably uninterrupted along its length. However, interruptions in the aperture 30 are possible without significantly affecting the performance of the present invention.
  • the aperture 30 is preferably shaped and sized to receive the leading web edge 26, and preferably has walls 32, 34 defining a throat 36 of the aperture 30.
  • an uninterrupted aperture 30 is preferred because it permits easier reception of the leading web edge 26 into the aperture 30 (though even an interrupted elongated aperture 30 will still permit lengths of the leading web edge 26 to be pulled into the aperture 30 in accordance with the present invention as described below).
  • the particular dimensions and arrangement of the throat 36 and walls 32, 34 can vary considerably.
  • the walls 32, 34 can be closer or farther apart to result in apertures 30 of different widths.
  • the walls 32, 34 preferably substantially face one another to define the sides of the groove-shaped aperture 30.
  • the thickness of the walls 32, 34 need not be of any particular dimension for proper operation of the invention.
  • the walls 32, 34 can be relatively deep, or can be shallow enough that they are defined only by the edges of the aperture 30. Indeed, the dimensions and configuration of the throat 36 and the walls 32, 34 are only dictated by the ability of the aperture 30 and the throat 36 to receive the leading web edge 26. Similarly, the depth of the aperture 30 can vary considerably, and is preferably at least deep enough to receive the leading web edge 26 of the severed web 10 without creating an excess of material at the mouth 38 of the aperture 30.
  • a vacuum source is in communication with the cutoff roll 14 and is preferably created in a conventional manner by a vacuum generator (not shown), but can instead be supplied by a vacuum tank or other receptacle capable of holding a vacuum.
  • the vacuum source is in communication with the aperture 30 to exert a suction force through the aperture 30.
  • the web retention device 40 (which includes the vacuum generator, the aperture 30, throat 36, walls 32, 34, and mouth 38) thereby holds the leading web edge 26 on the cutoff roll 14. Specifically, the leading web edge 26 is drawn into the aperture 30 after the web 10 has been severed. In this manner, even if the web 10 has multiple plies, has one or more non-porous plies which underlie other plies, or is highly porous, all plies of the leading web edge 26 are drawn into the aperture 30 of the web retention device 40 by the suction created in the cutoff roll 14. This is in contrast to the prior art systems which relied upon suction against the face of the web 10 to hold the web 10 on the cutoff roll 14. In contrast to the present invention, the holding effectiveness of such prior art systems is necessarily dependent upon the web and ply materials being held.
  • the leading edge 26 of the web 10 After the leading edge 26 of the web 10 has been pulled into the aperture 30 of the web retention device 40, the leading edge 26 can be held therein until such time as the web 10 is pulled or released from the cutoff roll 14 for later operations performed upon the web 10.
  • the leading edge 26 By holding the leading edge 26 within the web retention device 40 in the manner described above, the web 10 is kept flat and secure even up to the leading edge 26 of the severed web 10, thereby avoiding web pile-ups and undesirable web edge movement after cutting.
  • a second preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in Figure 3.
  • the apparatus of the second preferred embodiment is substantially the same as the first preferred embodiment described above and illustrated in Figure 2, with the exception of the location of the web retention device 140 (specifically, the location of the aperture 130 of the retention device 140).
  • the aperture 30 of the first prefe ⁇ ed embodiment has walls 32, 34 defining the throat 36 of the aperture 30, the throat 136 in the second prefe ⁇ ed embodiment is defined by wall 132 and the rear surface 142 of the cutoff blade 120.
  • the web retention device 140 and the aperture 130 thereof are located immediately behind and are partially defined by the cutoff blade 120.
  • the apparatus illustrated in Figure 3 serves to illustrate how the present invention can take a variety of forms all of which act to receive the leading edge 26, 126 of a severed web 10, 110 into the aperture 30, 130 of a web retention device 40, 140 to more reliably and securely hold the severed web 10, 110 against motion and/or piling up behind the cutoff blade 20, 120.
  • an aperture located immediately behind the cutoff blade 20, 120 is itself unique and (with sufficient vacuum force) can hold the severed edge 26, 126 to the cutoff roll 14, 114. Therefore, the present invention can also be practiced by locating the retention device 40, 140 immediately behind (or in front of as will be discussed below) the cutoff blade to hold the severed edges of the web 10, 110 securely against the cutoff roll 14, 114 without actually drawing in the severed edges 26, 126 within the aperture 30, 130.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil de rétention de tissu et un procédé destiné à empêcher le bord d'un tissu coupé de bouger ou de se replier lors des manipulations ultérieures avec ce tissu. L'invention utilise de préférence une ouverture à vide qui aspire et retient une partie (p.ex., le bord) d'un tissu coupé. L'ouverture à vide est reliée à un appareil de mise sous vide qui crée une force de succion qui aspire la partie de tissu dans l'ouverture à vide et la retient dans celle-ci. Pour cette raison l'ouverture se présente de préférence comme une rainure ou une fente allongée située près de l'endroit où l'on coupe le tissu, ce qui permet à la partie de tissu de rester près de l'ouverture à vide et d'être aspirée dans celle-ci. L'ouverture peut comprendre une gorge définie par une ou plusieurs parois qui s'étendent en dessous de la surface dans laquelle a été pratiquée l'ouverture. La présente invention peut notamment s'utiliser avec un cylindre de coupe dans lequel une ou plusieurs lames de coupe sont montées sur une surface de cylindre de coupe. Dans ce système, l'ouverture à vide est située le long de la lame de coupe, derrière celle-ci, et aspire (par la force de succion qui s'exerce à travers l'ouverture à vide) la partie du tissu coupé dans l'ouverture à vide après que le tissu à été coupé par la lame de coupe. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation de l'invention, l'ouverture à vide peut se situer devant la lame de coupe afin de fixer la partie du tissu coupé qui se trouve devant la lame de coupe. Le cas échéant, une ouverture à vide peut même se situer des deux côtés de la lame de coupe.
