PAPER-ROLL HOLDER AND CUTTER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 22, 1907.
Application filed April 4, 1906. Serial No. 309,824.
T0 at whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN F. FINAN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Cumberland, in the county of Allegany and State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper-Roll Holders and Cutters, of which the following is a specification.
My invention is in the nature of an improvement upon that form of paper roll holder and cutter in which the sheet of paper passes from the roll through a thin slit or throat in an adjustable bar which is forced inwardly over the paper by the same hand that grasps the paper, and which also has a cutting edge for establishing a straight line in tearing off a section of paper. Examples of this type of roll-holder and cutter are seen in my previous patents, Nos. 802,927 and 814,598.
My present invention consists in an improvement upon this general construction of roll-holder and cutter, in which the cutterbar gravitates to its outermost position by reason of downwardly-inclined guides, and in which a simple and better construction is obtained, and one in which the cutter-devices may be applied to any form of rollholderalready in use, or as a wall-bracket, as hereinafter more fully described with reference to the drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view; Fig. 2, an end elevation of the upper portion; Fig. 3, a vertical transverse section of the upper portion with a roll of paper in position, and Fig. A is a detail.
In the drawings, A A are supporting-feet connected by a cross bar A and having mounted upon the .same upright standards A A A is a cross-bar bolted or screwed to flanges at the top of the uprights and forming with them and the feet and cross-bar a frame or holder to receive the roll of paper.
B is a spindle or core-rod which passes through the roll of paper and is supported in seats I) 1), formed in the inner sides of the uprights. At the opposite ends of the corerods are loose conical bushings B B, which enter the holes in the roll of paper and hold -it properly centered on the corerod. Outside these bushings are circular face-plates I B B which cover the hole in the paper-roll and prevent it from moving endwise against the uprights. At the inner ends of these conical bushings there are formed on or attached to the core-rod slight projections b, which limit the inward movement of the bushings and prevent them from passing too far into the roll of paper, where they would do damage to the paper.
The paper-cutting devices are attached to the roll-holder and are combined therewith,
but are applicable to any form of roll-holder which is provided with upright standards. These cutting devices are held upon peculiarly-shaped hanger-arms. These arms are each formed with a horizontal slotted portion C detachably secured by set-screws c to the sides of the uprights near the top. These arms are also formed with enlarged middle portions 0 and downwardly-inclined outer portions 0, which latter form guides upon which the cutter-bar slides. This cutter-bar consists of an upper bar D and a lower bar D, which are loosely secured together a distance apart just far enough to'form a slit or throat between them, through which passes the outer terminal edge of the roll of paper seen at?" in Fig. 8.
In the lower member D of the cutter-bar there is formed at each end a transverse,
channel d large enough to receive the outer inclined portions C of the hanger-arms, which hangerarms are formed with terminal knobs or stop projections c on them to keep the cutter-bars from dropping off. The upper member of the cutter-bar has longitudinal slots at its ends, through which screws or bolts 0 pass to clamp the two members of the cutter-bar together. The bars are loosely connected by these screws so as to slightly rock about their longitudinal aXes to facilitate the passage of the paper'between, but
. may be rigidly connected. In such latter case suitable washers, offsets, or filling-pieces are interposed between the bars so that they do not bind on the hanger-arm, but are held a sufficient distance apart to allow the paper to freely pass between them and allow the bars to slide on the hanger-arms. The front straight edge of the bottom bar (and the top one also, if desired) is made sharp to establish a cutting-line in tearing ofi the paper.
Between the enlarged middle portions 0 of the hanger-arms there is loosely journaled a small roller E, over which the paper passes from the roll to the cutter-bar, and in front and slightly above this roller there is formed on the inner face of each enlarged middle part 0 of the arm an inclined rib or flange e, on which rests a gravitating rod F, which rod by reason of the inclined ribs e always trends down upon and toward the roller E for tension purposes. This gravitating rod is preferablyround, but may be any crosssection. It rides upon the top of: the sheet of paper and presses freely against the side of roller E, and when the paper is pulled from the roll said rod slightly rises on the inclined seats formed by the ribs or flanges c. This rod holds the paper stiff and unyielding while forcing up the cutter-bars over it.
G is a brake-spring made of bent'wire, the ends of which bear against the uprights and the middle portionagainst a plate B to arrest the momentum of the paper-roll when pulling off the paper. The two legs of the wire straddle the core-rod, as seen in Fig. 3.
The operation of my roll-holder and papercutter is as follows: To place the roll of paper on the-core-rod, the latter is lifted out of its seats I) in the uprights, and the conical bushing and end plate at one end are removed. The roll is then slipped on the rod and the conical bushing adjusted into the central open ends of the roll, the end plate restored, and the ends of the core-rod are then dropped into the seats in the upright. The free edge of the paper is then pulled out and extended over the roller E and under tension-rod F, and thence is passed down through the slitted throat between the adjustable cutterbars, where it normally remains, as seen in Fig. 3. To tear off a piece of paper of the desired length, the thumb is placed above the upper cutter-bar and the forefinger under the lower cutter-bar. These bars are then forced up over their inclined guides, as in dotted lines, Fig. 3, which allows the free terminal edge of the stationary paper to be received in the hand between the forefinger and thumb and be grasped thereby. The paper being grasped is pulled down the requisite distance for the section to be torn off, and with a sweep of the hand the paper is thrown against the cutting edge of the cutter-bar and is torn off straight along that line.
In describing more fully the function and value of the loose connections of the two sections D D of the cutter-bar I would state that the stop projections c are formed with a hook-shaped cam edge 0 on the upper surface of their lower sides, as seen in Fig. 4., against which the lower edge of the section D strikes when it descends and is forced upwardly to and against the paper, which it tightly holds while the paper is being torn off. When the cutter-bar is pushed up, as in Fig. 4, the bar-section D drops away from D, allowing the paper to freely pass down between them, but when the bars D D drop down again D rides on cam c and pinches the paper against D, as seen in Fig. 3.
One advantage of my invention is that the cutter-bar gravitates of its own weight to the outermost portion of the downwardlyinclined guide-arm and is moved up with but littlcresistance, and thus needs no spring, as is required in my previously-patented construction. It is obvious, however, that a spring may be employed, as in my previous patents, to force down the cutter-bar, if desired, as might be useful with a very light cutter-bar.
The construction of the cutter devices is also such that they may be applied to any form of roll-holder already in use. In such application it is only necessary to screw or bolt the hanger-arms C C C directly to the sides of the uprights of any roll-holder, or to the top cross-bar thereof; or these hangerarms may be fastened to the side wall of a store or toilet room like a bracket, immediiiltely above the point of support of a paperro If desired, two narrower rolls of paper may be independently mounted on the same axial line, and both be cut by the same cutter-bar.
I claim- 1. A paper-cutter for a paper-roll holder, comprising standards arranged to support a roll of paper and two arms connected to the standards above the roll, said arms having their free outer ends projecting downwardly and outwardly and having stops on their ends, and a freely-sliding cutter-bar arranged on the arms to descend from gravity, said cutter-bar having a space through which the free edge of the paper passes and being arranged to be slid upwardly on the arms to expose said free edge of the paper.
2. A paper-cutter for a paper-roll holder, comprising hanger-arms bearing at their outer ends downwardly-inclined guides, a cutter-bar sliding on said inclined guides, and a roller above the cutter-bar sustained between the hanger-arms.
