Patent number: 10815090Abstract: A processing apparatus is disclosed comprising a shearing unit that receives the material to be processed from a conveying device upstream and surrenders it to a conveying device downstream, in which the material to be sheared advances with a continuous supply motion, in which each conveying device comprises a variable geometry closed loop slidable flexible element, in which the shearing unit is constrained to move with alternating motion together with two movable portions of the two conveying devices. The apparatus can process web-shaped material for the production of electrical energy storage devices.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2017Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: Manz Italy S.r.l.Inventor: Massimiliano Sale

Patent number: 9192978Abstract: A flattened tube fin manufacturing apparatus includes: a press apparatus; an inter-row slit apparatus forming metal strips of a product width that are arranged in the width direction; a first feeding apparatus feeding the metal strips cut by the inter-row slit apparatus downstream; a cutoff apparatus that cuts the metal strips formed by the inter-row slit apparatus into predetermined lengths to form flattened tube fins; and a second feeding apparatus that feeds the flattened tube fins downstream. The plurality of metal strips outputted from the inter-row slit apparatus advance into the cutoff apparatus after entering a downwardly sagging state. The flattened tube fin manufacturing apparatus further includes a control unit controlling a feeding amount of the second feeding apparatus based on a feeding amount of the first feeding apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2013Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: HIDAKA SEIKI KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Hirofumi Baba, Yasuhiro Endo, Kazuyuki Tominaga

Patent number: 7739935Abstract: A device for the lateral separation of paper webs, including: a paper introduction region with at least one driven web supply roller; a buffer region, in which the web is prepared for discontinuous forward motion; a cutting device; and a paper lead-off region with discontinuous web forward motion; the device further including at least a first tube group having two tubes which may be moved relative to at least a third tube of the tube group, perpendicular to the web. The tube group (120; 150) is arranged intermediate the paper introduction region having merger region tubes and a discontinuously driven paper web roller in order to form a turning web loop of varying length. The length as determined by the separation between the tubes of the tube group is regulated by a controller, in connection with the driven web supply roller and the discontinuous web forward motion.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2004Date of Patent: June 22, 2010Assignee: Kern AGInventor: Patrick Schöpfer

Patent number: 6834823Abstract: Supply device for supplying rubber material (11) to a cutting device (3). In the direction away from the cutting device the supply device contains a supplying table (3) having a supplying mechanism (4), an unwinding trestle (7) containing a stock of rubber material, a space between the unwinding trestle (7) and the supplying table (3), which space is suitable for taking up a loop of rubber material forming a stock buffer. Between the unwinding trestle (7) and the supplying table (3), preferably at a distance above the supplying table, a first conveyor (5) having a drive is placed. Preferably at a distance above the unwinding trestle a second conveyor (8) having a drive is placed, in which the space for taking up the loop of rubber material is formed between the second (8) and the first (5) conveyor.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2002Date of Patent: December 28, 2004Assignee: Vmi Epe Holland B.V.Inventors: Klaas Nauta, Adrianus Theodorus Hendrikus De Keijzer

Patent number: 5054304Abstract: A sheet stock feed line in which sheet stock is leveled and fed by a leveler to a feeder and each time the feeder feeds the sheet stock by a predetermined length, the feed by the feeder is stopped for working the sheet stock. While the feed by the feeder is stopped, the leveler feeds the sheet stock at a very low feed rate to form a loop of the sheet stock between the leveler and the feeder. When the loops reaches a predetermined size, the feeder resumes the feed of the sheet stock and the leveler is controlled so that its feed amount follows that by the feeder.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 1990Date of Patent: October 8, 1991Assignee: Nusco Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shigeki Hayashi, Shigeru Kusaka
