Definitions

  • Feed motor 20* includes cylindrical casing 2th: and rotary piston 26b pivotally mounted on axle 200.
  • a separating partition, or stop 20d is positioned between casing openings 20s and 20
  • Outfeed motor '31 dimensioned identically to feed motor 20, includes cylindricalcasing 31a, rotary piston 31b pivotally mounted on axle 31c, and partition 31d between openings 31a and 31
  • a solenoid actuated spool valve 46 determines the direction of fluid flow through feed motors 2.0 and 31 so as to govern their direction of rotation.
  • a solenoid actuated spool valve 47 determines whether motors 20* and 31 are arranged in series or parallel fluid connection. With their respective solenoids deenergized, the spools of valves 46 and 47 are centered in the illustrated positions by conventional return springs. 7
  • Conduit means B extends from opening a in valve 46 to opening 31 in outfeed motor 31.
  • Conduit means C extends from opening 31a in this motor to opening b in solenoid 47.
  • Conduit means D extends between opening a in valve 47 to opening 26 in feed motor 20.
  • conduit means E extends to opening b in valve 46.
  • conduit means F extends to a composite drain network discharging into a liquid sump, which is illustrated as source 41.
  • a branch conduit means G extends from conduit means B to opening a in valve 47.
  • conduit means H extends to conduit means F for discharge to sump 41.
  • conduit means B With both solenoids 48 and 50 energized, fluid will flow from supply source 41 through conduit means A and into conduit means B. Because of the branched connection of conduit means G with conduit means B, fluid flow through conduit means B will divide at the junction of conduit means B and G to flow in parallel to fluid motors 20 and 31. The portion of flow continuing through conduit means B to opening 31 in motor 31 effects counterclockwise rotation of rotary piston 31b. Fluid displaced by this movement of piston 31b flows from opening 31e into conduit means C and through connected openings and b of spool valve unit 47 into conduit means H. Flow through conduit means H discharges into conduit means F and subsequently flows to sump 41.
  • driving means are provided which are actuated by a rotary cam 38 driven by feed motor 20'.
  • rotary cam 38 includes a partially circular portion and an elongate camming portion. A cam follower engaging the periphery of the cam will remain stationary while in engagement with the circular portion and will be actuated only when the cam is rotated sufficiently to bring it into contact with the elongate cam portion.
  • Each scanning increment will be of suflicient length to accommodate all feed errors normally expected to be encountered, with cam 38 being so driven and peripherally configured as to eifect the appropriate scanning duration.
  • indicia spacing is relatively regular, however, the limiting of the scanning to the terminal portion of the resetting stroke in the manner described economizes on scanning time. As a result, the scanning may be conducted at slow speed for short intervals without adversely effecting the overall capacity of the feeding operation.
  • the scanning unit will move longitudinally er the web 7 in a direction opposite "to the feed direction, i.e. to the right in the illustrated arrangement until light is reflected from the light source 35 into photocell 36 by a light reflective registration indicia 3-7.
  • a signal is transmitted through control portion '63 of the control network to deener'gize solenoid 48 and actuate the pistons in cylinders 17 and 29 so as to effect the closing of idler rolls 11 and 23.
  • the control circuit has been illustrated only with respect to the signal transmitted to'the cylinders 17 and the signal transmitted to cylinder 29 has been omitted.
  • cyclic feed means for imparting intermittent feed strokes to said web, said feed means including web engaging and advancing means,
