The machine includes various processing stations including an inspection station, splice table, a web guide, web clamp and a slitter station. The slitter station has nip rollers which are rotated by the passing web and which rollers, in turn, power the knife shafts which carry adjustable slitting blades.

  • Patent number: 4813651
    Abstract: This is an improved fence system comprising a plurality of vertical support type fence posts with each post preferably having a pair of "saddle support" members to support a pair of preferably parallel tube members that are preferably fabricated of Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) commonly used in electrical installations, or of any other type of suitable material such as light weight galvanized tubing. The EMT can be coated with an enamel type paint, or any other type of suitable paint. The "saddle support" members serve as both a connecting link and support for the fence horizontal tube members or sections. The horizontal fence sections are easily attached by means of two metal screws that secure these sections to the post's "saddle support." The bottom portion of each fence post can be secured, for example, into a pool's cool deck for easy installation and removal, or it can be permanently attached to any suitable surface.
