Patented Oct. 26, 1937 WEB PASTING MECHANISM FOR. PRINTING PRESSES William A. Zalesak, Schenectady, N. Y., assignor to The Goss Printing Press Company, Chicago,
Ill., a corporation ot !Ilinois Application March 12, 1930, Serial No. 435122 32 Claims.
My invention relates to control devices, more particularly to control devices for web renewing machinery for printing presses.
One methodemployed' for renewing the web after a roll has become exhaus'ted is to move a fresh web roll toward the rmning web and paste 'the running web to the new fresh roll from which the web is then fed to the press. Before the fresh web roll is brought into contact with the running web, it is brought up to press speed by means of friction belts or the like as is well known in the art; The running web roll from which the web is supplied to the press andthe fresh web roll are supported in a rotatable or pivoted support, thereby permitting movement of the fresh roll toward the running web. After the paster has been made between the running web and the fresh roll; the running web is broken between the fresh roll and the exhausted roll,` and the web thereafter is fed from the fresh roll alone.. v
Va rious means have been developed for the purpose of performing the above Operations automatically. such devices are more orless complicated and employ cams and mechanical levers and like methods. eElectrical means have been employed to a more or less limited extent. The
apparatus heretofore developed performs automatically one or more of the Operations in making a paster but requires manual operation at u one or more stages during the pasting operation and the services of the attendant.
- An object of my invention is to provide a novel and fully automatic web renewing mechanism for making what is known-in the art as a flying paster which requires only the insertion -of pasted fresh rolls into the roll suppo t of the web renewing mechanism.
Another object of my i'nvention is to provide A making the paster, cutting the expiring web and applying a brake to the exhausted web roll and for thereafter controllingthe speed of the web to the press. The `electricalcircuits to which these electrical devices are connected are 'ener- 'only when in contact with the fresh roll.
I the following description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings and the scope will be pointed out in the appended claims. v
In the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 represents one position of the web renewing mechanisin; Fig. 2 represents another position of the web renewing mechanism; Fig. 3 is a detailed showing of a. switch mechanism and magnetic brake; Fig. 4 is a cross sectional View of the controlling members; Fig. 5 is a front View of the brush supporting member; Fig. 6 represents the electrical circuits for the control device; Fig. 'I V shows a modification thereof; Fig. 8 is a showing of the contact supporting member; Fig. 9 is a detail of the web cutting mechanism.
Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, the stand sup-' ports the reel2| rotated by means of an electric motor (notshown) in which are mounted the running web roll 22, the fresh web roll 23, and the exhausted roll 24. These rolls are rotatably supported in the bearings 22'. The speed-up mechanism 25 may be driven from the press in any suitable manner and is provided with a friction 'belt or -belts 25' which contact with the fresh web roll for rotating the same. In my device this belt is connected to be driven fromthe press by means of a magnetic clutch mechanism The running web is designated bythe numeral 221. A hanger frame 21 supports the pasting device 28 and the pivoted frame 26 von which 'is mounted the rotating belt 26" for controlling the rotation of the running'web roll 22. "I'his controlling belt or belts, a plurality may be used, is driven in any suitable manner at press speed. The electroresponslve knife means for severing the web from the running web roll is also mounted on the pivoted frame 26.
In Fig. 2, the app'ar'atus is shown in the process of making the paster. The speed-up mechanism is shown in contact with the fresh roll 23 'for driving the same and the pasting device is shown pressing the running web against the surface of the rotating fresh web roll for the purpose of energized from the lines L and L 2 by means of the relay BI. The purpose of introducing the relay is to prevent the contact members 5land 52 from carrying heavy current.
The motor is energized to rotate the reel in the following manner. Referring to Fig. 3, it will be seen that a web roll is supported by means of the' rotatable shaft which is mounted in the' bearings 22' carried by the arms of the reel. Mounted on the top of this bearing is an automatic switch means which closes when the roll becomes exhausted. v
In the preferred embodiment of my invention this switch mechanism consists of a base 3! which supports the member 32. Slidably mounted in the support 32 is the member 33 which is urged V against the web roll by means of the spring 33'.
Mounted in the fork portion 39 of member 33 is the rotatable member'35 which contacts with the web roll. At the other end of the slidably mounted member 33 is the portion 33 which cooperats with the slidablyand pivotally mounted member 31 carrying at one end thereof a contact -39 which cooperates with the contact 90 for the purpose of energizing the motor M to rotate the reel. The member 31 carries a spring 38 which urges the member 31 in an upwardly direction against the element 33. When the web roll becomes depleted so that the member 33 may b'e urged to the right by spring 33', the portion 35 thereof forces the member 31 down. W-hen the portion 36 has passed the pointed portion of the member 31 in its movement to the right, the spring 38 then causes the member 31 to pivot in a counterclockwise direction about itspivot 32' .with a snap action since the .spring causes the member 31 to slide quickly upward on the other side of portion 36 and thus rotate in a counterbrushes Mi' and are in contact with the contacts'52 and 5l, the action of which will be described below, a completed circuit through the relay El will energize themotor M to rotate the reel. The circuit controlling members which carry the contacts and the brush members which cooperate therewith will `now be described by referring to Fig. 4. i
The contact carrying disk 43 of insulating material is rigidly secured to the stand 29 by means of bolt 43' and carriesthe contact members 5l, 52, 56, 51, 58, 59, 50, 53, and 55 as shown in Figs. 4, 6, and 8. This disk is mounted on the left side of the reel looking in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 2. Obviously it could be mounted on the other side. As shown in Fig. .6, these contact members are connected electrically to the various electrical parts of the web renewing mechanism.
v The contact members 5! and 52 areconnected in the relay circuit 5! for energi'zing the motor M. The contact members 55 and 51 are connected to the pasting means. 28.` ;The contact members 53 and 55 'are connected to the magntic clutch means 25 for efl'ecting rotation of the speed-up mechanism 25 when the speed-up belts 25' are in contact with the fresh web roll. Contacts 58 and 59 are connected to the magnetically operated knife member 29 carried on the frame 25, and
shown in' detail in Fig. 9.
In Fig. 9, the knife 29 ispivotally supported in a mounting supported by the frame 25. The electroresponsive means 29' when energized rotates the knife mechanism 29 to sever the running web 22' between the fresh roll and the expiring web roll. The control belt for the rmning web roll is shown at 26'.
Contact 69 is connected to the line La and with #contact 59 connected to lineL furnishes a cirprevents further rotation of the running web roll I after the paster has been made.
The member for completing the electrical cir- L cuits to the various parts of the device consists of a disk of insulating material M keyed to the reel shaft 2l' and in which are mounted the brush members 65', 96', 51', 48' and 49', see Figs.
4, 5, and 6. These brush members are urged into c contact with the contact members carried by the insulated member 93 by means of the spring 59. A cable C carries the conductors which connect with the brushes 65', 46'; 48' and 49' with the knife mechanism and magnetic brake mechanism which are carried from the reel arm. This brush mechanism of course rotates with the reel. In rotating with the reel, it makes the desired connections through the contact members to produce the web pasting operation.
- This' brush carrying disk 44 has three sets of identical brushes thereon, one set for each roll carried by the reel, it being understood that each roll is supplied with' a switch and a brake. It
will also be understood that the brushes make contact with the contact members for completing the electrical circuits in a predetermined order `as will-be described below; .As has been pointed o'ut, brush contacts 46'and 45' cooperate with the contact members `52 and 5! to complete a circuit through the relay 61 when switch 31 is closed. The brush member: 41' cooperates with the contacts 56 and 51 to complete a circuit' tact members 53 and 55. This same brush-mechanism 48' at a later stage cooperates with'. the contacts 58 and 59 to close the circuitthrough the knife mechanism 29and the 'contact members 59 and 50 cooperate. with the brushes49' and 481. at thesame timqto eomplete a circuit through the magnetc brakemech'anism fll which is carried on the reel shaft;
, The operation of my device is as follows: When the apparatus is in the position showni Fig; 1,
the brush contacts cooperating with th`e'r'`nn'in`g web roll 22 have the position shown in Fig. 8, in the first position as showngby the full line.
It is, of course, understood that 'when the run ning web roll is full that the switch mechanism carried by the arm of the reel supporting this web roll is in the open position, as shown in Fig. 3. It will be observed, by reference to Fig. 6, that the circuit to the relay Bl is open and that therefore the motor M is not rotating the reel supporting the web rolls. When the running web roll 22 reaches an exhausted condition, the switch ,mechanism will operate to close the circuit `;through relay El. It will then be seen that a ;circuit is completed through the switch mecha- `ism, brush 45', contact 5| to the relay SI, ;through the contact member 52, the brush means 43', back to the switch. This, of course, energizes the relay to close the circuit for the motor M. The reel is then started to rotate in a clockwise direction to bring the fresh roll into contact with the running web.
As the reel rotates in a clockwise direction, the brush means 48' comes into contact with the contact members 53 and 55 as shown by the first positionof dotted lines in Fig. 8. This, of course, completes the circuit through the mechanism 25 which starts the speed-up mechanism' into operation by connecting to some part'of the press or to' a separate source for rotating the belt 25'. This takes place just about the time that the fresh web roll reaches the position of the speed-up mechanism. The fresh web roll is then started to rotate.
As the reel continues to rotate in a clockwise direction, the brush member 41' comes into contact with the members 56 and 51, as shown by 'the second position in dotted line in Fig. 8. This completes a circuit through the magnetically operated pasting means 28 and it operates to push the running web against the surface of the fresh web roll as shown in Fig. 2. It is understood that paste has been applied to the fresh roll on its insertion into the reel support. It will be noted that the speed-up belts are still in contact with the fresh web roll and still continue to rotate the fresh web roll.
Further rotation of the reel brings the brush member 48' out of contact with contacts 53 and 55 and into contact with the contact members 58 and 59 and the brush member 49' into contact with the contact member 60, as shown by the third position of dotted lines in Fig. '8. Thus, simultaneously, a circuit is completed through the knife mechanism 29 by means of the contact member 48' cooperating with the contact members 58 and 59 and a circuit is also completed through the magnetic brake mechanism. Thus, the web between the fresh web roll and the expiring web roll is severed, as shown in Fig. 9, and the magnetic brakeis applied to prevent further rotation of the expiring web roll The pasting means 29 is still energized for the purpose of insuring a good paste and the magnetic brake is energized a slightly longer time than the knife mechanism to insure that the roll is properl braked.
As the reel continues to rotate in a clockwise direction, the contact members 41', 48','and 49' pass out 'of contact with the contact members with which they cooperate, thus opening the circuit through the various devices 'which they control. It will be noted, however, that the Contacts 46' and 45' still complete the circuit through tacts pass out of contact with the contact members 5l and 52 and stop rotation of the reel by deenergization' of the motor M, the next group of brush members for the fresh roll 23 will. then be in a position 'shown by the first position of the brush members in Fig. 8. Of course, the switch which cooperates with the fresh web roll 23 which is now in running roll position, is open. The second set of brush members are then in a position to complete the cycle of operations just described when the fresh web,roli now in running roll position becomes exhausted.
In some cases, it might be desirable to slow down the speed of the press while making the pasting. The means for ac'complishing this is shown in Fig. 7 which is a modification of part of the circuit shown in Fig. 6. The press motor M for driving the press has in series therewith a current limiting resistor 64 which is normally short circuited by means of the relay 63 during the operation of the press and while the paster mechanism is in normal running position. The relay 63 is in series with the electroresponsive means for energizing the ciutch 25 to start the speed-up roll( Thus, as the reel rotates to bring the fresh roll against the running web, the brush member 48' completes the circuit across the contact members 53 and 55 to complete a circuit through the electroresponsive clutch mechanism and the relay 63. This, of course, energizes the speed-up'belt and at the same time energizes the relay 63 to open the contacts across the resistor 54, thereby placing the resistor in series with the motor and reducing the speed of the press motor. Of course, the relay 63 is energized only so long as the speed-up belts are energized. The press could be slowed down in the same manner by placing the relay 63 in series with the pasting device 28, thus slowing down the press so long as the paster mechanism is energized.
As used in the claims, the expression "web renewing operation" includes rotating the webroll supporting reel, rotating the fresh web roll, contacting the running web with the fresh web roll and severing the expiring web from the exhausted web roll.
The embodiment of the invention illustrated and described herein has been selected for the purpose of clearly setting forth the principles' involved. It will be apparent, however, that the invention is susceptible of being modified to meet the different conditions encountered in its use and I, therefore, aim to cover by the appended claims all modifications within the true spirit and scope of my invention.
