  • the setting device further should not include parts which are movable relative each other, thereby rendering it possible to obtain a higher accuracy and maintain it for a long period.
  • the invention further relates to a device at cutting machines, particularly band cutting machines for dividing a fabric of cloth or other material into bands, comprising at least one slide shaft extending transverse to the cutting direction, a plurality of knife holders for knives mounted on the slide shaft and adapted to slide along said shaft for setting different distances between the knives, at least one counter-cutting roll co-acting at the cutting operation with the knives, means for moving the knives into and out of contact with-the countercutting roll, and means for holding the knives in their cutting position in a pressing abutment to the countercutting roll.
  • the object of this invention is to arrange the slide shaft or shafts for adjusting the knives in such a manner, that the shafts during the cutting operation with the knives in contact with the counter-cutting roll or rolls are held entirely relieved of the pressure developing during the cutting operation.
  • This is important because the slide shaft or shafts, for reasons which will be explained lateron in connection with the description of the embodiment of the invention shown in the accompanying drawing, must have a relatively small diameter for rendering possible a sliding movement of the knife holders along the shafts with a friction as low as possible and for rendering possible a correct setting.
  • the slide shafts with a relatively small diameter moreover, usually have a considerable length in order to cover a large setting range. This is another reason why the slide shafts have to be held relieved during the cutting operation.
  • a further object of the invention is to arrange the knife holders in such a way that in their positions set they cannot be moved along the slide shafts nor be turned relative thereto.
  • Still a further object is to arrange the knife holders in such a way that the knives individually and optionally can be moved out of contact with the counter-cutting roll, so that at an adjustment in question of the knives the distance between the same can be multiplied or changed in another way whilst maintaining the setting.

Between the side plates are arranged a lower pressure plate 34 for a compression spring means 35 (see FIG. 4) and a pressure plate 36 for an eccentric means 37 (see FIGS. 4 and 1).
  • the outer side plates 38 are identically equal as well, except for the forward side plate shown in FIG. 6 which includes a recess 39 while the rearward side plate does not include such a hole and in this portion is provided with a number of holes 40 (see FIG. 4) for a purpose which will be explained in the following.
  • the side plates include holes 41 to be passed through by the slide shafts 27 and holes 42 for plug welds holding the side plates together.
  • the side plates further include holes 43 for an eccentric lug comprised in the eccentric means 37 and holes 44 for a shaft for a pipe 45 arranged between the side plates and constituting a stop means for an eccentric disc comprised in the eccentric means.

  • Ball bushings 56 for the support of the slide shafts 27 are inserted in the holes 41 in the side plates 38 and in corresponding holes in the intermediate pieces 55.
  • the shaft 47 is inserted in the groove 33 and constitutes a holding shaft for the knife bearing unit, i.e., the inner side plates 30 with the pressure plates 34 and 36 and the support for the circular slitting knife 3.
  • the eccentric means 37 comprises an eccentric disc 51 which is supported about an eccentric lug 52 provided in the holes 43 in the outer side plates 38. For its rotation, the eccentric disc is provided with a control lever 53.

  • the dash-dotted line indicates the position for one of the shafts 18,.and the dash-dotted lines indicate the eccentric means 37 in a swung-up position.
  • FIG. 7 Before describing the function of the knife holders 28 and theirsupport in connection with the casing 21 and lever mechanism 2 first an embodiment of the central stationary knife holder 28 is described with reference to FIG. 7. For reasons of simplicity a lateral view only of those outer side plates 38 isshown which agree with the outer side plates 38 for the slidable knife holder's. In FIG. 7 further is shown by dash-dotted lines the casing 21 which with the end edges abuts the support surface 49 and, respectively, the support groove 50. As appears more clearly from FIG. 7, the screw-nut joints 29, which also are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, are mounted above the casing 21 and threaded into holes 66 in arms 65 extending upwards from the intermediate pieces 55 located between the side plates 38.
  • the knife holder besides, is fixed also by means of set screws 67 to be screwn into threaded holes 68 in the intermediate pieces 55 for engagement with the slide shafts 27.
  • the arms 65 further show spring mountings 69 for one end of springs drawn between said mountings and each of the spring mountings 64 (see FIG. 4) on each slidable knife holder 28 as is described in detail below.
  • the lever mechanism 2 holds the casing 21 in a pressed-down position, and the casing in itsturn holds for each knife holder the outer side plates 38 in a position pressed down relative to the inner side plates 30, in such a way that, as shown in FIG. 4, the shafts 47 in the different knife holders are located some distance downward in the grooves 33.
  • the working pressure exerted on the circular slitting knives is taken up only by the compression spring means 35 and the casing 21 which is effectively stayed and well-guided by the grooves 50. Due to the load being taken up in this way, the advantage is obtained that the slide shafts 27 for adjusting the knife holders 28 are relieved. This is very essential for several reasons.
  • the slide shafts for render possible adjustment of the knife holders, can be stayed only at the ends outside the adjustment range and, therefore, must be made relatively long.
  • the slide shafts furthermore, must have a relatively small diameter in order to safely ensure a correct setting. This implies, that the shafts when being subjected to the working pressure would be bent and thereby give rise to a varying working pressure for the different circular slitting-knives 3, which would jeopardize a correct cutting of the fabric.
  • a further reason is that by abutment of the pressure absorbing casing 21 to the knife holders 28 in the V-shaped grooves 50 and to the plane surface 49 it is guaranteed that the knife holders 28 cannot be laterally moved out of the setting in question.
  • the outer side plates 38 and the inner side plates 30 thus have resiliently moved apart so that the workpiece has been released.
  • the bearings 23 which are rigidly connected with the shaft are actuated and via the arms 22 lift the end walls which are rigidly connected with the casing 21.
  • the lower edges of the casing 21 are disengaged from the V-shaped grooves 50 and support surfaces 49 of the knife holders.
  • the clearance between the shafts l8 and the holes 19 of a greater size relative the shafts has now been utilized entirely and the shafts 18 rest against the lower edge of the holes 19.
  • the brackets 12 are lifted via the shafts 18.
  • the knife holders 28 are entirely relievedand only suspended on the slide shafts 27 whereafter the knife holders can be adjusted without friction.
  • the eccentric means 37 in every desired lifted knife holder 28 is pivoted into the position shown in FIG. 4 by dash-dotted lines.
  • the compression spring means 35 hereby cause the inner side plates 30 with supported circular slitting knife to pivot about the shaft 47 upwards from the contact with the counter-cutting roll 4.
  • the compression spring means 35 thus, have two objects, viz., to hold the circular slitting knives pressed down in cutting position and to lift the circular slitting knives off the counter-cutting roll after said swingingmovement of the eccentric means 37.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 show an arrangement which is particularly suitable for adjusting the knife holders 28.
  • the arrangement is generally designated by C in FIGS. 1-3.
  • the knife holders can easily be adjusted from a minimum distance between the circular slitting knives 3, at which the knife holders abut each other as shown in FIG. 2, to a maximum distance between the circular slitting knives, at which the circular slitting knives are distributed along the entire length of the counter-cutting roll 4 whilst in each setting position an equal spacing between the circular slitting knives is maintained. It is further possible, as already mentioned above, to multiply the distances between the circular slitting knives in a setting position in question or to change them in another way by folding up suitable circular slitting knives.
  • FIG. 8 shows the same end view as in FIG. 1, but with the plate 72 removed which in FIG. 1 conceals the a'd-v justing device C proper, and with also other parts of the band Cutting machine removed except for the bracket 12, theshafts 18 with their fastening nuts 73, the arm 14, the shaft 1 with its bearing and theslide shafts 27.
  • FIG. 8 also shows their locking at the bracket 12 by conical locking pins 74 which engage with grooves in the slide shafts. Said locking is to be preferred to the locking of the shafts by means of thread and nut, because the shafts for the reasons mentioned above have a relatively small diameter. The shafts can be chucked by tightening the nuts 73 whereby the pins 74 take along the shafts.
  • FIG. 9 is a view seen from the left in FIG. 8 and is still more simplified with respect to the remaining parts of the band cutting machine by showing only the bracket 12.
  • a steel wire 75 extends which is drawn from the respective knife holder in parallel with the slide shafts 27 out through a hole 76 in the bracket 12 and thereby extends through the holes 40 (see FIG. 4) in the knife holders located between the respective knife holder and the bracket.
  • the number of necessary holes 40 in the rear outer side plate 38 of the respective knife holder thus, depends on where in the row of knife holders the knife holder is located.
  • the wires 75' thereafter run about pulleys 77 supported at the mounting 78 in the bracket 12.
  • wires are deflected over the pulleys 77 perpendicularly down to pulleys 79 which are supported at one angular leg 80 of an angular plate 81 fastened on the bracket l2.

  • a tightening means 88 is provided for each mounting of the wires at the lever 85 of which, however, only the uppermost one is I shown in FIG. 8.
  • the tightening means 88 are adapted to correctly adjust the length of the wires and thereby the positionfor the knife holders 28.
  • the pulleys 77 are mounted in three rows al, a2 and a3 at different heights and distances from the bracket 12.

  • the pulleys 79 as appearing from FIG. 8 are mounted in three oblique groups bl,-b2 and b3 disposed at different distances in lateral direction in relation to the bracket 12. The wire from the knife holder located closest to the stationary knife holder is drawn about the said outermost pulley 77 in the row a3 and about the lowermost pulley 79 in the lowermost group b3.
  • the wire from the second knife holder counted from the stationary knife holder is drawn about the second pulley 77 in the row a3 and about the second pula minimum distance between the circular slitting knives 3.
