To (LZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN B. M. V. RoTTIN- GER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the borough of Manhattan, city of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for Removing and Cutting Material from Cores, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to means for removing paper or other material from cores, spindles, and the like and cutting the same into sheets. Its organization consists of a machine for removing paper or other material from cores, and among its essential elements are adjustable supports for the said cores and a reel adjacent thereto for winding the paper or other material thereon. A knife is connected up with the reel for cutting the said paper or other material.

In the drawings, Figure 1 represents a front elevation of the invention with partial sections of Fig. 2 as on the lines m as and 00 as. Fig. 2 is an end view of Fig. 1 with a partial section on the line 20 x Figs. 3 and 4 show plan views of portions of Fig. 1.

The invention comprises framing with the stationary upright A and upright B, which latter is adjustable between the guides C and along the girders D, a bolt D, with washers D clamping the upright B and girders D together. On the upright A are mounted the journal-bearings E E E E E, with the bolts e. On the upright B are mounted the journal-bearings F F F F F, with the bolts The journal-bearings E, &c., carry spindles G, each of which has mounted on one end thereof a tapering spring-support comprising the springs G, which are clamped to the spindles G by means of the collars G the ends 9 of the springs being generally bent over the end of the spindle G. Collars H are fastened to the spindles G by means of screws h. In the journal-bearings F, &c., are mounted similar spindles J, generally somewhat longer than the spindles G, and which each have a tapering spring-support, consisting of the springs J, secured on the spindles J by means of the collars J the ends 7' of the springs J being generally bent over the end of the spindle. Collars K are secured on the spindles J by means of screws To the rear of the frame with the uprights A and B are secured uprights L, L, and L the two latter of which carry journal-bearings M and M by means of bolts m m". In the said bearings M M is supported an axle N, which carries a reel comprising the ends 0 and longitudinal members O. The ends O are connected to the flanged supports O which in turn are fastened to the said axle I.

Supports P are fastened to the axle N and to which are journaled the levers P on the pivots The levers P are connected by the link P and the other ends of the levers P are connected to the knife-support Q, to which latter is fastened the knife R by means of the screws 1". The cutting edge 1" of the knife may be curved, as shown or straight. 7

To one of the levers P is pivoted a link S, which latter is connected with a lever T, that is pivoted to a support T, the latter being carried on the axle N. The lever T contains a socket for an operating-handle T, which can be removed. Stops T are adjustably fastened to the axle N to control the movements of the lever T.

On the left-hand side of the axle N is supported the shaft V,with the pulley V and disk V the j ournal-bearing M being fastened to the upright L. On the end of the axle N is carried the disk W,With the central projection W and grooved collar W, a eather W extending from the axle N and fitting the said grooved collar W and disk W. A lever Y, with its forked end Y fitting the groove of the collar W is pivoted on a bracket 1, extending from the upright L. A shaft 2 is supported in bearings 3, and on the latter shaft is fastened the roller 4, which is located to engage with the projection W of the disk W. Asecond roller 5, connected with a sleeve 6 and grooved collar 7, is arranged to slide on the shaft 2, a feather 8 being interposed between the shaft 2 and the roller 5 with its sleeve 6. A lever 9 is pivoted to a bracket 10, that extends from the upright L, and the forked end 11 of the lever 9 is engaged by the grooved collar 7. I

To the rear of the frame carrying the sprin supports and under the reel are secured rails 12 for the wheels 13 of a truck 14. Sides 15 are hinged from the body of the truck, which sides can be pulled up and the ends thereof connected by a chain and the like to prevent the material carried thereon from falling off.

To use the invention, cores like Z Z are each placed on a pair of the spring-supports, the spindles J being moved to the right by loosening the collars 7c to allow the cores to be put in place on the springs G on left-hand side of the frame, after which the spindles J with the springs J, are pushed up into the cores and the collars 76 again fastened. The springs will tightly grip the cores in place. Although only two cores, each with a roll of paper thereon, are shown in the drawings, it is evident that a core may be placed on all of the pairs of supports. The ends of the rolls of paper are then placed and wound around the reel, which latter is then caused to turn by moving the lever Y so that the projection W of the disk W engages with the roller 4. The roller 5 is driven by the disk V and the speed of said roller 5 can be varied by moving the same on the shaft 2 by means of the forked lever 9, because different speeds are given to the roller 5 when it is engaged with the disk V at different distances from the axis of the shaft V. When it is desired to stop the reel turning, the diskW, with its proj ectignw, is brought out of engagement with the roller l'. After a sufficient number of thicknesses of paper have been wound around the reel the knife R is made to cut the same by operating the handle T the depth of the cut of the knife being controlled by the stops T on the axle N. After the paper has been cut the sheets are allowed to fall on the truck 14, when the hinged sides 15 are swung up and connected by a chain, so as to prevent the paper falling off of the said truck.
