automatically, without any necessity for human 5 intervention except to maintain the supply at H).
The machine will also operate on folded or doubled material by making the initial cut in the folded edge and then tearing toward the two selvage edges. When I speak of an edge of material I mean the selvage edge of a single sheet of material or the folded edge of doubled material, both in the specification and in the claim.
It will be obvious to those skilled in that art that many variations may be made in the devices herein disclosed. For example, the knife may be replaced by other initial severing means, the operation of the pull-01f rolls may be changed, the dimensions and arrangement of parts may be altered, and so on. Therefore I do not limit myself to what is shown in the drawings and described in the specification, but only as indicated in the appended claim.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:
A device for tearing lengths of material from .4 strips of cloth or the like, comprising means for holding a supply of strip material, a measuring roll, a feed roll coacting with the measuring roll at a point remote from the point of first engagement of the strip with the measuring roll, a cutter rotating with the measuring roll, means to cause said cutter to make an initial cut in an edge of the strip adjacent said point of first engagement with the measuring roll, pull-off rolls acting on the strip beyond the feed roll, means for clamping a portion of the strip behind the initial cut as REFERENCES CITED The following references are of record in the file of this patent:
