  • Patent number: 12673442
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a film (2) or sheet from a block material, in particular from a slabstock foam (3), in which at least the following regions are provided, as seen in a production direction (P) of the film (2) or sheet: a cutting region (I) for cutting the film (2) or sheet, wherein the film (2) or sheet is cut out, in a slitting-open manner, by means of a cutting unit (10) from the block material, which is continuously fed to the cutting region (I); also a passing-on region (II), adjoining the cutting region (I) and having a driven passing-on roller (20) for conveying the film (2) or sheet out of the cutting region (I); and also a secondary region (III?), adjoining the passing-on region (II) and intended for further processing the film (2) or sheet, in particular a winding region (III) for winding the film (2) or sheet into a coil (4).

  • Patent number: 9718204
    Abstract: An assembly for cutting foam, nonwoven, rubber, and composite products has a guide having a longitudinally extending guide edge formed with a longitudinally extending and outwardly open groove. A longitudinally extending row of cutting elements extends along the guide edge, and element each has an entrainment dog projecting inward into the groove, a support riding on the guide edge and having sides each formed with a pair of longitudinally spaced and outwardly open recesses, a base outward of the support, and a wedge-section cutting tooth forming a cutting edge outside the base and having a pair of longitudinally extending flanks converging at the cutting edge. Coupling links extend between and have ends set in the recesses of adjacent cutting elements. Pivot pins extend through the ends of the links and through the supports at the bases. The base is of a maximum width greater than a width of the assembly at the pins.
