Exten ing rearwardly from the arch bar 3 are a air of longitudinally disposed frame mem rs 4 supported at their rear ends by uprights 5. The uprights 5 are provided with brackets 6 to support the arbor '4' of a roll 8 of the printed paper which is to be trimmed. Arranged upon a shaft 9 above the roll 8 is a drum 1O forl feeding the web A of paper from the rol v 11 indicates a small roller mounted above the drum 10 and coiiperating with the same.

Mounted upon the shaft 9 is a driven pulley 12 which is coupled to said shaft 9 by an ordinary clutch, not shown, 13 indicating the lever for operating the clutch. By this arrangement the feeding of the paper from the roll 8 may be regulated as desired. As the web of paper passes from the drum 10 it is received upon the floor or other support 1 IS a driven shaft 14. and arran d above the shaft 14 is a parallelly dispose shaft 15 upon which is mounted the platen 16. The

platen 16 comprises a large cylindrical drum having its outer face 17 covered or prepared with suitable material for coiiperation with the knife or knives of the knife roller. The shaft 15 is mounted in suitable. bearing blocks 18 and is provided adjacent one side of the machinewith a large gear 19 meshing with a pinion 20 on the driven or power shaft 14. By this arrangement, when the machine is in operation, the drum 1 driven at a constant speed. Q a

The bearing blocks 18 are mounted in suitable guides orways 21 arranged on the frame of the device, and suitable means are provided for raising and lowering the blocks to raise and lower the platen. To this end an oscillatory shaft 22 is mounted tramversely'of the frame in brackets 23 extending upwardly from the frame members 1 and 1". A pair of short arms 24 are fixed to the shaft 22 and are connected by links 25 with the blocks 18, whereby rotary movement of the shaft 22 will raise or lower said blocks. 26 indicates an operating lever fixed to one end of the

shaft

22, and 27 indicates it quadrant adjacent with a stop 28 under which the lever 26 is adapted to be engaged for intaining the platen in raised position whiz? desired. The g'uadrant 27 is connected at one end to-the rame member 1' as shown and a brace 29 is provided for steadying the opposite end 105,

thereof.

30 indicates the knife roller provided with a shaft 31 mounted in adjustable bearings 32. Provision is made for moving the knife roller toward and from the platen in a path substantially radially thereto, for adjusting the same vertically with relation to its path of travel toward and from the platen, and for adjustingthe same transve'rsely across the face of the platen. To this end the frame members 1 and 1' are provided with forwardly and downwardly projecting extensions 33 which are substantially U-shaped forming

parallel arms

34 and 35 equipped with

ways

36 and 37 respectively, and connected by a transverse lower portion 38. Slidably mounted in the ways: 36 and -37 is a slide comprising parallel guide portions 39 connected by a pair of parallel portions -10 adjacent their lower outer ends. The members 39 aresubstantially co-extensive in width with the ad'acent portion of the frame and are provi ed i-ng-t-h'e adjacent'edges of theframe or upon the inner edges with flanges 41 engag as shown clearly in 'Figs. 9 andll. ,The

connecting P ns. 40 are preferably co extensive in-width with that of the members 39am fianges tl [so that the inner faces of "the flanges portions 40 form a plane siirface as shown clearly in Fig. 11.

Bearing against the flanges 11v and coplanar faces of the portions-dtl'is a plate 43 proa transversely extending arm 45 terminating. in an enlarged portion 46- having its outer 1 may vided with a vertically disposed rib 44:, engaging-in the-ways &2 whereby said plate moveyertically with slide. The .plate 43 is provided with a face in the plane with the. outer edges of the

ways

36 and 37 and adjacent framepcn tions. Secured to the port-iontfi, as by tap screws 47 is a plate 48, preferably coextensive in'length and breadth with the plate 43 and serving to hold said plate and arm 45in position. v

The bearing blocks 32 aresecured to the arms 45 upon opposite sides of the ma-- chine and the bearing-block upon the right 7 hand side is transversely adjustable thereon.

By'turning the spectiveblock 32 will be adjusted laterally; The shaft 31 isprovided with annular ribs or collars 51 engaging upon opposite sides of gthe adjustable bearing block. 32 wherewhen said block is adjusted the knife y roller will be. shifted transyersely of the platen. Threaded thronghthe portion 38 of the-frame exten'sion'is a screw 52 provided with a hand wheel 53 for turn'hig the same. The opposite' end of the screw 52 is reduced in diameter as at 54 and provided with an enlargedhead' 55 .arranged between the transverse portions c tof the slide, forming a swiveled connection. It is obvious that by turning the screw .52 the moved toward or from the platen and the arrangement is, preferably such that the. screw 52 is substantially radially disposed withrelation to .the platen when, in op-' era'tive position so that the movement ofthe knife roller toward and from the platen willbeina substantially radial path. One

.of the portions 40 of the slide is with a- -:la'teral extension-55 and the plate provided 48- is 'fdrmedxwith .ahousing 56 to receive the-same; Swiveled through the housin 56 is' a screw 57 'which is threaded through per.

plates

43 and 18 together with the arm 45 and block 32 are raised or lowered. By the-three separate adjustments above described the' knife roller may be brought into proper relation-with the platen to produce a perfectly clean sharp cut and by means o'fthe screw 50 theknife roller may be shifted to bring the knife into proper lateral registry with-the design of the .pa-

The means for bringing ,the knife into proper registry with the design longit-udinally of the web of paper will be-described fully hereinafter. The drive shaft 14 is extended a considerable distance beyond the frame 1 and upon this extended portion of .theshaft is arranged the dr'ivin'g mechanism for the lmife roller and the means for varying the speed of the same. 58 indicates a bracket extending from one side of the frame 1 and provided with a suitable brace 59. Fixed to the shaft l t'as by a set screw 66 is a substantially cylindrical member 61 provided with a;worm gear 62 preferably formed integrally therewith. Lcosely. mounted on the shaft adjacent the member 61 is a member 63 having an annular flange 64 thereon and a gear 65- keyed thereto. The gear 65 meshes with an idler 66 which in turn .nzeshes with the gear 67 on the knife shaft 31. Fixed to the flanged is a bracket '68 provided with bearings 69 for a. short shaft 70. The shaftfTOis provided-with a worm '71 arranged between the bearings 69 and with a worm wheel 72 which in turn meshes with a-worm 73 on a shaft'7 t. p ro' jecting perpendicularly from the flange '64 I or parallel with the shaft 14. It is obvious that the motionof the member '61 is transmitted through the gearing462, '71-, 72,73 and shaft 74 to the-member- 63' and the gear 65, the gear 65 thereby normally rotating at the same speed as the shaft 14; and the gears 19 and-20, 67 and 65 are so proportioned as to normally give the same peripheral speeds to the platen 16 and knife e roller 36. The idler 66 is mounted upon a slotted arm 7 5 which is adiustably mounted on a bracket 7 6 on the frame 1 in order that said idler may be brought into proper relation with the

gears

65 and 67 after the shaft 31 has been-adjusted. y

Loosely mounted on the shaft 14 adjacent the member 6l'is a clutch member 77 provided with a fixed gear 78 meshing with-a gear 79 on the end of shaft "74:. It is obvious that normally the clutch member 7'7 travels with the members 61 and Y63 and at Y the same speed therewith. A. second clutch member, 80, is loosely mounted on thevshaft 14:, and is provided .with "a 'fixe'd gear- 81 83, said jack Shaft being provided with a which meshes witha gear 82 'on a jack shaft;

second gear 84 meshing with a gear 85 keyed as at 80 to the shaft 14. The

ears

81, 82, 84 and 85 are proportioned to rive the clutch member 80 at a greater angular velocity than the shaft 14.

87 indicates a lever for shifting the clutch member 80, the same being provided with a yoke 88 engaging a peripheral groove 89 in said member. The lever 87'extends forwardly and rests upon a horizontal bar 90 projecting from the sideof the frame and is provided with an upwardly extending ear 91. Fixed to the-bar 90 is a pair of U- shaped members 92, one upon each side of l the lever 87, and slidably mounted'on each of said members is a rod 93, the inner ends I of which impinge against the ear 91. The l spring 94 is interposed between a stop 95 on each of said rods and the outer portion of the respective member 92 for projecting I the rods inwardly against the car 91, and

heads 96 are formed on theouter ends of the rods to limit the inward movement thereof. By this construction the lever may be moved either to the right' or left for the 'purpose hereinafter'described, and when released will be immediately returned to normal position.

' Should the-operator notice that thepaper has lagged or that the knife is in advance of the pattern on the paper he at once moves i thelever on the left to throw the clutch member 80 into engagement with the clutch member 7 7 causing the latter to travel at the same speed therewith or at a greater speed than its normal speed when traveling with the members 61' and '63. gear 78 to travel faster than the member 61 thereby turning the shaft 74 through the medium of the gear 79, and, through the train of worm gearing, slows down the speed of the member 63 and gear 65. thereby slowing down. the speed (if the knife. As

soon as the knife is in proper register with the pattern the lever 87 is released and returns to normal position disengaging the clutch mmberlsjand the platen and knife continue to travel at a uniform peripheral speed.

Should it be necessary to increase the speed of the knife the lever 87 is moved to the right. Fixed to the lever is a depending arm 97 provided with a friction face 98 which engages a peripheral flange 99 on the clutch member 77. This stops the rotary movement of the member 77 and gears- 78 i causing the gear 79 to revolve about the gear 78 with a planetary movement, causing the gear 7 9 to rotatein an opposite direction from that in which it rotates when. the

clutch members

77 and 80 are in engagement. thereby increasing the rotary speed of the knife roller. From this position the lever is returned to normal position by the mecha nismabovedescribed on the arm 90.

This causes the The knife. roller 30 is equipped with knives 30 which conform to the outline of 1 the platen to be trimmed and it is therefore necessary, before starting the machine into operation to insure proper registry of the knife with the pattern. The adjustment of the knife roller transversely of the web has been described hereinbefore, and I will now i describe the means for initially re 'ste the knife with the design longitudinally of l the web.

Fixed to the end of the knife roller shaft 31 is a collar 100 provided in its periphery with a worm 'gear 101. Loosely mounted upon the shaft 31, adjacent said collar, is a member 102 to which the gear 67 is secured as by a key 103. The member 102 is pro- F vided with an arm 104 upon which is mounted a bracket 105 carrying a worm 106 which E meshes with'the worm gear 101, thus locking the gear 67 against relative rotation on the shaft except when said worm is 0 rated. j The shaft 107 of the worm is profit- :1 with 5 a head 108 equipped with apertures 109 to receive a pin or other instrument for turn- 1 ing the same. 110 indicates a weighted arm ron the member 102 to balance the arm 104, {and the parts carried thereby. The r 67 being in mesh with the gear 66 is ield f firmly against movement except when the machine in operation, therefore, after the web of paper is in position on the drum, the knives may be brought into proper registry therewith, longitudinally of the web, by turning the worm 106 which turns the shaft and the knife roller carried thereby.

Suitable means must be provided for feedg ing the web of paper through the machine to the rewinding mechanism, to be described hereinafter, and for maintaining a 1'0 r tension on the same. -I have herein hefli; j described how the web is fed from the roll to the oint a. From here the web passes upwarcly and through a suitable guide and tension device. Located upon the frame members 4 are a plurality of transversely extending bars 111, preferably formed of 7 wood and in practice I find three to be sulficient. Adjustably supported on the bars 111 is a pair of longitudinally disposed guide members 112 which are arranger] with their inner faces spaced apart a distance equal to the width of the paper web. The paper passes upwardly over the first bar 111, un- I der the middle bar and over the last bar as indicated in Fig. 2. Depending from the forward ends of the members 4 are angula rl v disposed brackets 113 upon which are secured bearing members 114. Mounted between the members 114 are a plurality of rollers 115. Hingedly connected to the members 114 is a frame 116 provided with a plurality of rollers 117 which are tioned intermediate the rollers 115.

The web A of paper passes between the two sets of rollers, 115, 117

t-ached-at one end ftO and the opposite end'extending through an 1 as shown clearly in Fig. 2', and the tenm'onon the web may be i readilyadjusted by means of the screw 118 .and'hand wheel .119, thejform'er being atthe bearing frame 11 aperture in the free end ofthe frame 116,
