  • Patent number: 4476760
    Abstract: A fluid actuated cutting machine comprising a stationary lower blade and a vertically movable upper blade mounted at one end to a pivot rod. The upper blade is disposed at angle relative to the horizontal plane. The other free end of the upper blade is disposed beyond a vertical plane on which lies the cutting edge of the lower blade. A pressure arm, mounted on a cantilivered beam connected to the base of the machine, acts against any tendency for the upper blade to align its cutting edge with the cutting edge of the lower blade. During its downward movement, the upper blade is constantly drawn from its horizontally angled position relative to the lower blade towards alignment with the lower blade. This movement is resisted by the pressure arm. The resistance causes a firm cutting pressure between the two blades at the constantly moving contact point during the downward movement of the upper blade.

    Abstract: An automatic capacitor winding machine has a retractable bifurcated arbor and vertically movable clamps to grasp the ends of the capacitor dielectric layers and carry those ends to a point below the retracted arbor. The bifurcated arbor is registered in its retracted state with its slot parallel to the dielectric layers. The arbor is then extended and grasps the dielectric layers between its tangs. The pressure grasping the dielectric layers is partially removed to allow the arbor to rotate and pull the dielectric layers from between the clamps. A stripper washer is provided to freely rotate on the arbor with limited movement parallel to the axis of the arbor and with a relatively small clearance between the washer's inside surface and the arbor's outside surface. Photoelectric means are provided to accurately detect the location of the first tab (terminal) to time the insertion of the other tabs.
