ROLL WEB TERMINAL Filed July 12, 1945 mVENToK Joss/PH E. Mc /VuLcgE/VI ATTDQHEYS Patented May '22, 1951 ROLL WEB TERMINAL Joseph E. McMullen, Milwaukee, Wis., assigner to The Journal Company, Milwaukee, Wis., a corporation of Wisconsin Application July 12, 1945, Serial No. 604,613
19 Claims. l
This invention relates to roll web terminals and methods of preparing web terminals for high speed paster joints.
For a general discussion of the nature of such a joint, reference is made to my prior Patent 2,361,857, granted October 3l, 1944.
It is a primary object of the present invention to reduce the labor and time required to prepare the web, and to provide for a joint which will eifect further economies in that it will reduce the amount of lap heretofore required between the ends of the joined webs.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear more clearly from the following disclosure thereof.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a View in front elevation of a rolled web prepared for a paster joint in accordance with this invention.
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary detail View in front elevation of one end portion of the roll shown in Fig. 1, the web end being illustrated in process of preparation.
Fig. 3 is a plan View on a reduced scale oi a web section containing a paster joint and severed tabs resulting from the use of the present invention.
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary detail view similar to Fig. 1, showing the modied arrangement.
In preparing the Web end for a paster in accordance with the present invention, the first step is to punch in the web 4 adjacent its end 5 a number of holes 6 and 6. From the hole nearest the side margin l, cuts 8 are made obliquely to such margins, such cuts being tangent to the outermost holes 6. Where the guide belts of the press are to cross the paster joint, strips I5 of gummed tape are applied to the web substantially tangent to the holes 6.
The gummed tabs I hold the end portion 5 of the web to the underlying face of the roll by spanning the web portions between the respective holes 6 and 6 and the end margin 5. The ends II of the tabs l0 lie Within the respective holes 6 in adhesive connection with the under.
lying surface of the roll. The ends I2 of the tabs I0 are in adhesive connection with the roll beyond the margin 5. The terminal portions of the web near the end margin and along the oblique cuts 8 are coated with adhesive, as indicated at I3.
When the gummed tabs Il) have been applied to clamp the end of the web to the underlying surface of the roll as above described, the unanchored portions of the web maybe severed either by cutting or tearing if desired. I have shown torn edges at I4 beside certain of the tabs I and torn edges at 9 beside the reinforcing strips at I5. In practice, the edges of the tabs and gummed tape Will guide the tear and the resulting edge will closely follow the applied tab or tape, the ragged effect shown in the drawings being exaggerated in order to indicate that these edges are preferably torn rather than cut. The tearing operation saves much time of a skilled attendant as compared with the time which would be required if these areas were cut free.
While the strips of gummed tape I5 are shown in Fig. 1 to be applied transversely of the sheet, it is possible to apply two strips at each point where reinforcement is desired as indicated in Fig. 4 at l5', the torn edges being there shown at 9. The particular pattern is broadly irrelevant. However, the strips of gummed tape will not only provide reinforcement but an edge along which the paper will be guidedin tearing.
Fig. 2 shows Various steps in the process in various stages of completion. One of the tabs I0 has been applied While another is in the course of application. The tear at 9 has been made to one of the apertures 6 while the out 8 shown in Fig. 1 has not yet been made. The glue has yet to be applied.
The preparation of the web end according to my former patent was entirely a matter of hand Work and considerable skill was required to out accurately the overhanging tongues shown at I6 in such patent and engaged by the tabs. According to the present invention, the use of a conventional punch suflices to locate and accurately form the overhanging portions With which the tabs are engaged. With such tabs preshaped by the hole punching operation, it becomes a simple matter, requiring much less skill, to make the cuts or tears 8 and 9 tangent to the holes.
It will be noted that between the cuts made at 8 and tears made at 9, and also between the two tears 9, there are holes 5 to which no cuts whatever are required, thus resulting in further time saving. It will be noted further that the length of the joint longitudinally of the web is only a fraction of the length of the joint re sulting from the invention of my former patent. In actual practice it is found that, whereas the joint of my former patent sometimes lapped across two or even three newspaper sheets, the joint resulting from the present invention is generally coniined to a single sheet. This is very important YWhere newspapers Y containing the 'paster joints are rejected. The press ordinarily folds and assembles the newspapers so that the presence of a paster joint on one sheet will result in the rejection of the entire newspaper'. The paper savings resulting from the present joint are, therefore, very substantial, in addition to the very substantial savings in time and labor.
It will, of course, be understood that in opera tion the paster joint made in accordance with the present invention functions like that disclosed in my former patent, the web tearing longitudi nally along lines parallel to the edges of the tape and intersected by the margins o the apertures to prevent the tear from extending into the web beyond the apertures. The resulting joint is shown in Fig. 3. The reinforcement provided by the gummed tape at l5 or I5 is oi' value in supporting the joint from the belts during the travel of the web through the printing press.
