MARKING ROLLERS Filed Aug. 5, 1958 26 3O 2O 32 28 IO I NVEN TOR. fifw/vc/s C. Wow-H ATTORNEY United States Paten Patented June 20, 1961 York Filed Aug. 5, 1958, Ser. No. 753,314 8 Claims. (Cl. 101-219) This invention relates generally to an intermittently rotated roller, and more particularly is directed to a marking roller effective to intermittently apply markings to a continuous web or sheet, for example, to apply markings to successive sections or lengths of a continuous web of wrapping material which are to be cut from the latter in a conventional wrapping machine.
Heretofore, it has been proposed to provide a marking apparatus which is effective to apply inked impressions to a continuous web of sheet material, for example, a web being fed to an existing wrapping machine or the like, and wherein the marking apparatus includes a marking roller mounted on a drive shaft and rotatable with respect to the latter, a gear transmission rotating the drive shaft in synchronism with the advancement of the web of sheet material, a friction clutch for coupling the marking roller to the drive shaft, and an electromagnetically operated latch which normally holds the marking roller against rotation in a position where a logotype or other marking element provided on a portion of the periphery of the marking roll faces away from the web of sheet material so that the latter can be advanced while the marking roller is at rest, with the electromagnetically operated latch being periodically released to permit rotation of the marking roller with its drive shaft in order to apply a marking to the web of sheet material. Although such previously proposed marking apparatus is capable of applying markings to the advancing web of sheet material at locations which are spaced apart along the latter by distances which are independent of the circumference of the marking roller by reason of the fact that the advancement of the web through a substantial portion of the distance between successive markings may be effected while the marking roller is atrest, such apparatus has the disadvantage of requiring a relatively complicated and expensive gear transmission for effecting rotation of the drive shaft carrying the marking roller,
and the further disadvantage of a possible difference between the speed of advancement of the web and the linear speed atthe periphery of the marking roller, as the latter ,is 'not directly driven from the advancing web.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a roller, particularly a marking roller, which is intermittently rotated directly from a moving surface, for
example, a continuous web of sheet material being fed to a wrapping machine or the like.
In accordance with an aspect of the invention, a roller is mounted fixedly upon a rotatable shaft,. and a disc having a bearer rim is rotatably mounted on the shaft at least at one side of the roller and is yieldably urged in the axial direction toward the roller to provide a frictional coupling between such disc and the roller so that,
when the bearer rim peripherally engages a moving surface, such as a continuous advancing web of sheet material, the roller and shaft tend to rotate with the bearer rim carrying disc or discs, but such rotation of the roller can be arrested by forcibly resisting rotation of the shaft without affecting the rotation of the disc having its bearer rim in continuous contact with the moving surface. Thus, a logotype or other marking element can be secured to the surface of the roller to intermittent-1y apply markings to the moving surface during those periods when the shaft and roller are free to rotate with the bearer rim carrying disc or discs.
drawing forming a part hereof, and wherein:
FIG. 1 is an elevational view of a roller assembly embodying the present invention;
FIG. 2 is an axial, expanded sectional view of the assembly of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic, side elevational view illustrating one application of the roller assembly of FIGS. 1 and 2.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, it will be seen that the roller assembly embodying the invention and there generally identified by the reference numeral 10 includes a roller body 12 having a central bore 14 extending theret-hrough and receiving a shaft 16 to which the body 12 is secured, for example, by a set screw 1-8.
A marking element 20, for example, the illustrated rubber logotype adhesively secured to the peripheral surface of body 12, extends over a circumferential portion of the body 12 for repeatedly applying markings to a moving surface, such as, a continuous web of sheet material.
In order to provide a frictional coupling between the discs 22 and 24 and the roller body 12, clutch discs 30 and 3 2 of a material having a relatively high coefi'icient of friction are mounted on shaft 16, and are axially interposed between bearer disc 22 and the'adjacent end surface of body 12 and between bearer disc 24 and the adjacent end surface of body 12, respectively. Further, the bearer discs 22 and 24 are urged axially toward body 12 so that the bearer discs and the opposite end surfaces of the roller body are maintained in frictional contact with the opposite side surfaces of clutch discs 30 and 32. In the illustrated roller assembly 10, such axial biasing of bearer discs 22 and 24 toward the roller body 12 is effected by helical compression springs 34 and 36 which are axially interposed, under initial compression, between bearer disc 22 and an abutment collar 38 secured by a set screw 40 on shaft 16, and between bearer disc 24 and an abutment collar 42 secured on shaft 16 by a set screw 44. It will be apparent that the initial compression of the springs 34 and 36 may be varied by displacing the abutment collars 38 and 42 axially along shaft 16, thereby to adjust the axial contact pressure of the opposite end surfaces of body 12 and of the bearer discs 22 and 24 against clutch discs 30 and 32, for correspondingly adjusting the torque transmitted from the bearer discs to the roller body.
By reason of the construction of the roller assembly 10 described above, roller body :12 and shaft 16 tend to rotate with bearer discs 22 and 24 when the rims 26 and 28 of the latter are in rolling contact with a moving surface, so that the marking element 20 will apply repeated markings to such moving surface. However, if
the shaft 16 is forcibly held against rotation with the roller body 12 angularly positioned so that the marking element 20 is out of contact with the moving surface, the bearer discs 22 and 24 can slip relative to the roller body and can continue to rotate by reason of the rolling contact between their bearer rims 26 and 28 and the moving surface. Accordingly, the roller body 12 will rotate to apply a marking to the moving surface only when the shaft 16 is free to rotate and, at that time, the linear speed at the raised marking surfaces of the marking element 20 will be exactly equal to the speed at which the surface to be marked is moving by reason of the fact that the roller body 12 is directly driven from the moving surface. Since rotation of roller body 12 can be arrested in an angular position where the marking element 20 is out of contact with the moving surface, the distances between the successive markings applied to the moving surface may be made independent of the circumferential dimension of the roller body. Thus, relatively large distances can be provided between the successive applied markings while conveniently using a roller of relatively small diameter. Further, the distances between the successive applied markings may be varied without having to replace the marking roller with one having a suitable circumferential dimension. It will also be seen that, since the marking roller is maintained in its inoperative or nonmarking position merely by forcibly arresting rotation of shaft 16, the latter can be conveniently and inexpensively mounted in fixed bearings, whereas, in some previous attempts to provide a marking apparatus in which the marking roller is driven directly from the moving surface to be marked and the distance between the successive applied markings is made independent of the circumferential dimension of the marking roller, the axis of rotation of the marking roller was moved toward and away from the surface to be marked in order to move the marking roller between its operative or marking position and its inoperative or non-marking position.
Referring now to FIG. 3, it will be seen that the marking roller assembly described above with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 may be conveniently employed in a marking apparatus for intermittently applying inked impressions or markings to a continuous web 46 of sheet material which is continuously advanced in the direction of the arrow 48 over a support or back-up roll 50. In such apparatus, the shaft 16 of roller assembly 10 is rotatably supported in suitable bearings (not shown) which are located so that the bearer rims 26 and 28 will bear downwardly upon the web 46 at the line of contact of the latter with the back-up roll 50, whereby the bearer discs 22 and 24 are rotated in the counter-clockwise direction, as viewed in FIG. 3, in response to the movement of the web.
The apparatus of FIG. 3 further includes an ink fountain or reservoir 52 which opens upwardly so that an ink supplying roller 54 can dip into the reservoir 52 and pick up ink from the latter. A metering roller 56 is rotatably supported in rolling contact with the ink supplying roller 54, and the roller 56 is preferably provided with bearer rims at its opposite ends which are in rolling contact with the bearer rims of roller assembly 16 so that the metering and ink supplying rollers are rotatably driven from the bearer rims 26 and 28 of assembly 10. It will be apparent that, when the roller body 12 rotates with the bearer discs 22 and 24, the raised marking surfaces of marking element are moved past the metering roller 56 in rolling contact with the surface of the latter to pick up ink therefrom and, thereafter, such ink is deposited upon the upper surface of web 46 during rolling contact of the marking element 20 with such web.
If the roller body 12 is permitted to rotate continuously with the bearer discs 22 and 24 in response to the movement of the web 46, then the distance along the web from the beginning of one inked impression or marking to the beginning of the succeeding marking is equal to the circumference of the roller body at the raised marking surfaces of marking element 20. However, with the roller assembly 16 embodying the present invention, rotation of the roller body 12 can be arrested at will with the marking element 20 being angularly displaced with respect to both the web 46 and the metering roller 56 while the bearer discs 22 and 24 continue to rotate by reason of their rolling contact with the web 46. Thus, the distance between the successive inked impressions or markings is no longer dependent upon the circumference of the marking roller, but rather upon the period during which the roller body 12 is maintained in the position of FIG. 3 while the web 46 continues its movement. Since rotation of the roller body 12 is halted merely by forcibly preventing rotation of its shaft 16, and the bearer discs 22 and 24 are free to continue to rotate in response to move ment of the web, it will be seen that the ink supplying roller 54 and the metering roller 56 which derive their rotational movement from the bearer rims of the assembly 10 also continue to rotate, thereby to permit the use of quick drying inks without the danger that such inks will dry upon the surfaces of the rollers 54 and 56 during the intervals between the periodic marking operations.
FIG. 3 of the drawings illustrates a simple mechanical arrangement for controlling the intermittent rotation of the roller body 12 of assembly 10. Such control arrangement may include a stop or abutment 58 secured on the shaft 16 to rotate with the latter, and a latch lever 60 which is pivotally supported intermediate its ends, as at 62, and carries a stop 64, in the form of a roller, at its lower end. The latch lever 60 can rock or pivot between an operative or engaged position shown in full lines in FIG. 3, and wherein the stop 64 is interposed in the circular path of travel of the abutment 58 with the shaft 16, and an inoperative or released position, shown in broken lines in FIG. 3, and wherein the stop 64 is withdrawn from the patch of travel of the abutment 58. Thus, it will be apparent that, when latch lever 60 is in its operative position, the stop 64 thereon is engaged by the abutment 58 to prevent rotation of the shaft 16 and the roller body 12. Preferably, the abutment 58 is angularly positioned with respect to the shaft 16 so that, when abutment 58 engages stop 64, the marking element 20 on roller body 12 will be disposed in the desired angular position, that is, out of contact with both the web 46 and the surface of metering roller 56.
In order to control the movement of latch lever 60 between the above described operative and released positions, a spring 66 may be connected to the upper end portion of the latch lever to urge the latter to rock in the direction disposing the latch lever in its operative position, as shown. Further, a solenoid 68 may have its movable armature 70 pivotally connected, as at 72, to one end of a link 74, while the other end of link 74 is pivotally connected, as at 76, to the upper end of latch lever 60. Thus, when solenoid 68 is energized to retract its armature 70, such movement of the armature is transmitted by link 74 to the latch lever 60 in order to rock the latter to its released position. With the arrangement described above, it is only necessary to hold the latch lever 60 in its released position until the abutment 58 has moved past the stop 64 of the latch lever, whereupon, the latter may return to its operative position for reengagement by the abutment 58 upon the completion of a full revolution of the roller body 12. Thus, the assembly 10 is effective to apply a single inked impression or marking to the web 46 during each intermittent energization of the solenoid 68, and the energization of the solenoid may be controlled in any suitable manner, for example, in synchronism with the movement of the web 46 or with the operation of an associated machine for utilizing the sheet material of the web.
Although a particular embodiment of the invention and a single application thereof have been described in detail herein with reference to the accompanying drawing, it is apparent that the invention is not limited thereto, and that various changes and modifications may be effected in the described roller assembly and other applications thereof may be contemplated without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention, except as defined in the appended claims.
