Filed Nov. 7, 1968, Ser. No. 67,616 Claims. (Cl. 53-423) This invention relates to a machine for successively cutting predetermined sections from a micro film strip and inserting them into transparent pockets in individual mounting cards.
Modern business organizations, involved with extensive inventories or dealing in a great variety of items or" one kind or another, have found it expedient to keep card records with punched indicia for use in tabulating and/or sorting machines. Each card, relating to a particular item, is formed with a pocket, in one portion of the card, wherein to deposit a section of microfilm hearing an illustration relating to that item.
These card pockets are formed by superimposing thin pieces of transparent plastic, such as cellophane, over a cut-out in the card which cut-out is dimensioned to conform to a section of filmstrip to be positioned in the pocket. Except for one perimeter of at least one piece these pieces of transparent plastic are adhered to the card along their perimeters. The one unadhered perimeter provides an opening to the pocket for the insertion of the filmstrip section. The facile cutting and inserting of these small film strip sections into these card pockets is an operation which the machine herein shown and described is designed to achieve.
The main objects of this invention are to provide an improved form of machine for eifecting the seriatim cutting of a filmstrip into predetermined sections and inserting the severed sections into the transparent pockets on a succession of properly-positioned cards; to provide an improved machine of this kind for cutting the filmstrip into sections with no distortion or undulating of the cut edges of the film sections that might otherwise interfere with the ready insertion thereof into the card pockets; to provide in a machine of this kind improved means for so flexing each positioned card-holder as to insure the ready entrance of the advancing edge of a filmstrip section into the card pocket; to provide an imroved machine of this kind having so coordinated a functioning of the film-cutting means and the card-end flexing means so to permit the advancing of the film strip, following the severance of a film section, to effect the full insertion of the film section into the respective card pocket; and to provide an improved machine of this kind which is so simple in its construction and so -facile in its operation as to make its use highly satisfactory in the hands of an operator without previous experience.
In the adaptation shown in the accompanying drawmgs;

FIG. 2 is an enlarged, fragmentary, longitudinal and somewhat diagrammatic, sectional view of the machine taken on the plane of the line 2-2 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a transverse, sectional view of the cutting means as viewed from the plane of the line 3-3 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a somewhat enlarged, transverse, sectional view of the eccentrically-mounted cam for operating the filmstrip cutting means, the view being taken on the plane of the line 44 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 is an overhead perspective View of the cardholder supporting end of the machine as shown in FIG.
FIG. 6 is a plan view of a conventional, transparentpocket mounting card;
FIG. 7 is an enlarged, cross-section of the card shown in FIG. 5, as viewed from the plane of the line 77;
FIG. 8 is an enlarged, rear, top-perspective view of the card shown in FIG. 6 with the advancing end flexed to insure an opening to the pocket for the entering edge of the advancing filmstrip; and
FIG. 9 is a perspective view of this flexed end of the card, as viewed from the plane of the line 99 of FIG. 8, the entering filmstrip being shown in dotted outline.
The essential concept of this invention involves so structuring a machine with a filmstrip advancing. and cutting-means as to permit the successive positioning of transparent-pocket cards with their ends flexed to insure an opening into the pocket for the advancing edge of the filmstrip, the seriatim cutting of the filmstrip into predetermined sections with no distortion of the severed edges of the film sections, and completing the insertion of each film section into its holding-card pocket by the subsequent advance of the filmstrip from which the film section has been cut.
A film-cutting and card-holder inserting machine embodying the foregoing concept, structured for use with conventional card-holders 10, comprises a mounting base 11 at the opposite ends of which are located a filmstripreel spindle 12 and a card-holder tray 13 and intermediate which two means are arranged a filmstrip advancing means 14 and a filmstrip cutting means 15.
The card-holder it as shown in FIGS. 69, is a form of filing card currently used extensively in business for picturing, on one part of the card-holder, a particular item of the many involved in a particular business. The other part of the card-holder 3.0 embodies indicia relative to the item shown on the filmstrip section. Certain of this indicia is punched on the card-holder to permit groups of such card-holders to run through a tabulating and/or card-sorting machine.
The card-holder llll, as here shown, has a rectangular opening 16 formed therein, inwardly adjacent the end 17, which opening is overlayed with pieces of transparent material 18, such as cellophane, to form a pocket 19 for the reception of a section of microfilmstrip 2%. The transparent pieces 18 are dimensioned to extendbeyond the perimeters of the opening 16 and, except for one end of at least one of the pieces 18, these transparent pieces have their perimeters adhered along the perimeters of the card-holder defining the opening 16. Thus a pocket 19 is provided, in the place of the card-holder 10, for the reception of the desired filmstrip section. The end perimeter of the one transparent piece 18 being not adhered to the card-holder 10 provides an opening 21 to the pocket 19 inwardly from the end 17 of the card-holder. It is for the facile seriatim cutting of sections from a filmstrip 26 and inserting them into the cardholder pockets 19 that the now-to-be-described machine has been developed.
The general form of the base 11 is indicated in FIGS. 1 and 2. This comprises a horizontal table section 22 with upwardly-extending side member 23 and 24 whereon are mounted the reel spindle 12, at one end, the cutting means 15, at the other end, and intermediately the filmadvancing means 14.
The spindle 12 here i shown in the form of a stud shaft fixed at one end of the longer of the side members 23. The other end of the shaft permits positioning a filmstrip reel 26 to properly feed the filmstrip 2! to the advancing means 14, presently to be described.
The card-holder tray 13 extends outwardly from the 0 base 11 in the plane of the table section 22 and is formed with an opening 27, a slanting slot 23, and guide-rail 29. The opening 27, in the tray 13, is substantially the size a of the card-holder pocket 19 and is positioned to permit the operator of the machine to observe the nature of any filmstrip section as it is being inserted into a card-holder pocket 19.
The slot 23 is for the reception of the end 17 of a card holder 10. When the card-holder end 17 is properly inserted into this slot 28, and the remainder of the cardholder is pressed down against the face of the tray 13, there will result a proper exposure of the pocket opening 21 for the reception of the filmstrip 2t? advancing toward the card-holder and entering the pocket 19. The slot 28, as here shown, is formed by a rectangular-shaped block 51 with an upwardly-tapered extension 52 set in a depression 53 in the forward end of the tray 13 with a rearwardly inclined wall 54 comparable with the taper of the extension 52 on the block 51. One or more screws 55 make possible the adjusted positioning of the block 51 in the depression 53 to accommodate the space 28 to the thickness of the card-holders it to be used on the machine.
The guide rail 29 is secured along the opposite lateral edges of the tray 13 depending upon which side of the machine the operator stands. It is secured in place by screws 30 (FIG. 1).
The filmstrip advancing means 14 comprises a pair of rollers 31-41, supported on shafts 3232', respectively, journaled on the frame sides 23 and 24- inwardly adjacent of the spindle 12. These rollers 31-31 are formed of friction material, such as rubber or its equivalent. They are so positioned on opposite sides of the base table 22 as to direct the filmstrip 26* toward and beyond the cutting means 15.
The filmstrip cutting means 15, as here shown, comprises a knife 33 reciprocable in a guideway 34, toward and away from a cutting plate 35 under the combined action of an eccentric cam 36 and a pair of retracting springs 37.
The knife 33 is a thin piece of high-grade steel, in the nature of a conventional safety-razor blade, with a tapered cutting edge 38. The knife guideway 34 is formed in a head 39 arranged inwardly adjacent from the card-holder tray 13 transversely between the base walls 23 and 24. Thus positioned, the knife 33, when depressed by the eccentric cam 36, presses the cutting edge 38 against the filmstrip 20 resting on the cutting plate 35. The cutting plate 35, also is a thin strip of high-grade steel in the nature of the knife 33. The cutting of the filmstrip 20 by these right-angle disposed pieces of steel effects a severing of the filmstrip with no distortion or undulation of the severed edges such as would occur with a shearing action.
The eccentric cam 36, as best shown in FIG. 4, is in the form'of a disk mounted on a collar 41 eccentrically positioned on a shaft 42 in turn eccentrically journaled at its opposite ends in ball-bearings 43 fixed on the opposite sides 23 and 24 of the base 11. The collar 41 is rotatively secured to the shaft 42 by a set screw 44-.
The springs 37 here are shown as arched, fiat strips of spring metal with C-shaped ends. These springs are set in opposed recesses '46 and 47 in the base 11 and in the under edge of the knife 33 (FIG. 3). These springs hold the knife 33 in constant contact with the eccentric cam 36.
A guideway for the filmstrip 20 along the top of the table section 22, is formed by plates 48 and 49 (FIG. 2). The plate 48 is transparent material, being dimensioned for disposition between the rollers 3131 and the cutting knife 33 and closely disposed over the table 22, between the base sides 23 and 24. Being transparent, the plate 48 exposes the filmstrip to the view of the operator as the filmstrip is advanced along the table to have sections of the film cut and inserted into the card-holders 10. The plate 49 is attached to the knife guideway-head 39 to extend forwardly thereof substantially in the plane of the plate 44. Thus, the plate 49 extending out over the adjacent end of the tray 13 tends to insure keeping the filmstrip 28' in contact with the top of the tray 13 as the strip is advanced to cause the end of the strip to be inserted through the open end 21 of the card-holder pocket 19.
This adaptation of a film-cutting and card-holder inserting machine is manually operated by the turning of the hand knobs 45 and 59, respectively keyed to the outer ends of the shafts 32, of the film-strip advancing means 14, and the shaft '42, of the film-strip cutting means 15. The machine is operated in the following manner:
A reel 26, of selected film-strip 20, is mounted on the spindle 12 with the free end of the film-strip advanced to the rollers 3232'. By turning the knob 45 counter clockwise (see arrow FIG. 1) the film-strip 20 is fed through the rollers 32-32 and along the guideway under the transparent plate 48 toward the cutting means 15.
A card-holder 10 has the end 17 inserted into the slot 28 to a point that disposes the opening 21 to the pocket 19 in line with the top face of the block 5-1. The cardholder 1@, beyond this pocket opening 21, is pressed down against the face of the tray 13. This insures the opening 21 to the pocket 3.9 being free to receive the advancing end of the film-strip 29.
Further turning of the knob 45 in a counter clockwise direction, advances the film-strip to a point where the advancing edge enters the card-holder pocket opening 21. Such an advance of the film-strip 26 is determined by the registration of a predetermined marking on the film-strip and a scale 56 on the exposed edge of the base side wall '23 (FIG. 1). Such a registration would occur when the film-strip 26 is in position under the knife 33 to have the desired section of the film-strip cut therefrom.
At that point the knob 59 is turned clockwiseas indicated by the arrow in FIG. lwhcreupon the knife 33 is forced down against the film strip 20 resting on the cutting plate 35 and a clean cut is effected of the filmstrip, with no distortion or undulation of the next advancing edge of the film-strip.
Upon retraction of the knife 33, the knob 45 is again turned in a counter-clockwise direction. Thereupon, the just-severed edge of the film-strip 20 contacts the severed section and pushes the severed section fully into the cardholder pocket '19. The knob 45 then is turned clockwise to retract the film-strip 2G to bring its advancing edge rearwardly of the tray slot 28. This will permit the removal of the card-holder it with the film section deposited therein, from the card-holder tray 13. Another card-holder 11 being positioned upon the tray 13, the foregoing operation is repeated to cut and insert a section of film-strip in the next placed card-holder 16.
