Abstract: A printing press control device and a cut-off register control device forcibly move a compensator roller by a set moving amount each time a set time elapses during a period from the start of speed acceleration to the end of speed acceleration.
Abstract: An apparatus for dispensing and cutting measured amounts from a roll of web material includes a roll carrier disposed within a housing. A rotatable drum is disposed proximate to the roll carrier, with the roll carrier being biased towards the drum so that the web material carried by the roll carrier is frictionally engaged against the drum. The drum thus rotates upon a free end of the web material being pulled from the housing. The cutting mechanism is movably mounted within the housing external of the rotatable drum. The cutting mechanism is engaged by the drum along a portion of the rotational arc of the drum and is moved by the drum to a cutting position wherein a blade carried by the cutting mechanism moves across the conveying path of the web material and cuts the web material.

Abstract: A packaging machine for applying and securing a continuous web of material, especially of the heat sealable type, to containers, especially open-topped containers. The machine includes an intermittently rotatable cutter for severing the web between adjacent container supports. The cutter includes camming means adjacent each end for rotating the cutter with respect to each container support to one position in readiness for further rotation between the container supports to sever the web. Support pins for carrying the container supports may be included on at least one of the supports and conveyor chains. When on the conveyor chains, support pins need be included at only some of the chain joints. The container supports may be molded from a settable material and include a convex, upward curvature to allow proper container sealing under pressure from a web applying device.

Abstract: A packaging machine for applying and securing a continuous web of material, especially of the heat sealable type, to containers, especially open-topped containers. The machine includes an intermittently rotatable cutter for severing the web between adjacent containers as well as a conveyor allowing mounting of interchangeable container supports of different sizes which cooperate with the cutter to rotate same to sever the web. The cutter need not be adjusted or modified when the container supports are changed and automatically accommodates the different sized supports.
