Abstract

988,080. Paper &c. folding apparatus. G. MULLER. Dec. 19, 1962 [Dec. 20, 1961], No. 48004/62. Headings B6B and B6H. Paper &c. webs 10 are fed to a zig-zag folding apparatus by conveyer belts 13, 13<SP>1</SP> carried by side plates 18 oscillated about a pivot at their upper end in time with the operation of the folding apparatus. A transverse member 26 is fixed to the plates 18 and has a guide opening 27 for the webs. The axis of oscillation of the plates 18 is concentric with the member 26 and also with a main drive gear from which the upper rollers 15, 15<SP>1</SP> are driven. Pivoted to the lower end of the plates 18 are plates 30<SP>1</SP> carrying an apertured guide member 37 and conveyer belts 14, 14<SP>1</SP> similar to those on the plates 18. The lower rollers 28, 28<SP>1</SP> are driven from the main drive gear through idler gears mounted on the plates 18, 30<SP>1</SP>. The plates 18 are oscillated from an eccentric 40 through a linkage 44, 46, 48 and the plates 30 are oscillated from an eccentric 41 through a linkage 45, 47, 49. The belts are driven faster than the webs so as to prevent their speed dropping below the web speed due to the oscillating movement and to provide a tensioning effect. In a modification, the lower rollers 16, 16<SP>1</SP> of the belts 13, 13<SP>1</SP> are driven, and the belts 14, 14<SP>1</SP> are replaced by stationary walls fixed to the plates 30. The zig-zag folds are formed by rotating members 50, 51 mounted on driven shafts 56, 57 geared to shafts 54, 55 carrying helical guides 52 which engage the folds. The width of the folded material can be adjusted by operation of a right- and left-hand threaded shaft engaging threaded members 61 attached to blocks 60 carrying the shafts 56, 57.
