  • Apparatus for correctly feeding continuous strips with a shaped side outline to blanking machines
    Patent number: 4925079
    Abstract: Apparatus for accurately feeding a continuous web having opposite generally sinuous longitudinal edges each defined by alternating convex and concave edge portions by utilizing a drive and idle roll for intermittently feeding the web in a predetermined direction, lateral generally C-shaped guides spaced a distance from each other corresponding to the distance between the longitudinal edges of the web, sensing elements located above elongated slots in upper arms of the webs for sensing along a line in chordal relationship to the convex and concave edge portions, and a mechanism responsive to the sensing elements for intermittently driving the drive roller to stepwise feed the web in the predetermined direction.

  • Equipment for slitting continuous tapes into strips with shaped side profile, in particular for metal sheet
    Patent number: 4641559
    Abstract: Equipment for continuously slitting metallic tapes into longitudinal strips f sinusoidal-like shape including a pair of slitting cylinders, a motor for rotating the cylinders, the cylinders having a set of blades with shaped peripheral cutting edges, the blades being positioned on the cylinders in superimposed and staggered relationship to provide cooperative shear-type cutting action, the cutting edges of the slitting cylinders being alternatively in facing and non-facing relationship to each other, the blades being formed as bells provided with central and axial bores for receiving between an inner surface thereof and supporting shafts a spacer ring, a radially elastic couple between two of the blades facing each other, and a spacer element between two of the blades which are in non-facing relationship to each other.
