2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional envelope cutting device, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-1
As shown in No. 21138, there is a device for assembling three or more rectangular pieces slidably with each other to form an enclosure in the center, and opening and closing the enclosure to cover and cut dough passing through the enclosure. When manufacturing buns and other products, the shutter pieces, which are rectangular pieces, are slid, so there is a certain amount of clearance between the shutter pieces for good sliding. I had to let him. But,
When the material such as cloth gets into the gap between the sliding parts of the shutter pieces and the shutter cannot be opened / closed smoothly, or the material left in the gap between the shutter pieces of the product that has been cut and covered. However, there is a problem in that it takes time and effort to remove it.

However, conversely, if the gap between the sliding portions of the shutter pieces is reduced so that the cloth or the like does not enter the gap between the sliding portions of the shutter pieces, the shutter pieces will slide to each other excessively. Friction heat may be generated, causing the shutter piece to thermally expand and become unable to slide in the shutter housing, or the sliding contact surfaces of the shutter piece may fuse to each other, causing the shutter to stop opening and closing. there were. Therefore, even if the cloth or the like gets into the shutter pieces or the gap between the shutter pieces and the housing and the opening / closing operation of the shutter is not performed smoothly, the gap between the shutter pieces must be allowed to some extent. It was a situation.

[0016]

According to the present invention, three or more shutter pieces are slidably assembled to each other to form an enclosure in the central portion, and the enclosure is opened and closed to cover and cut the cloth passing through the enclosure. In the device to be cut, shutter pieces adjacent to each other are combined so as to be slidably contacted by a coupling member fitted in a groove provided in the shutter piece, and the coupling member is adjusted so that a gap between sliding surfaces of the adjacent shutter pieces can be adjusted. Since it is provided, the gap between the shutter pieces can be appropriately maintained. For this reason, there is no backlash between the shutter pieces or a cloth dust entering the gap, which is a problem at the time of production with the shutter pieces having many gaps.
On the contrary, since the sliding contact surfaces of the shutter pieces that have been operating for a long time do not melt and fuse with each other, which is a problem at the time of production with the shutter pieces having a small gap, continuous operation is possible.

Further, it suffices that the conventional shutter piece is processed with the connecting member groove, the adjusting groove, and the sliding groove, and the connecting member and the adjusting member are added, without replacing the in-cluster unit. Since the effects of the invention can be obtained, it is very economical, and is very effective in that continuous production can be performed for a long time when producing buns and the like. Further, the cloth residue left in the gap between the shutter pieces does not adhere to the product, and the product production efficiency can be improved.
