  • Flying shears with workpiece alignment device
    Patent number: 5179885
    Abstract: A cutting assembly for cutting a continuous sheet of material covering containers which are continuously conveyed in spaced apart container carriers in a predetermined direction at a predetermined speed. The cutting assembly includes a support assembly and a mechanism coupled to the support assembly for rotating the support assembly in an orbital path so that the support assembly passes above the container carriers at substantially the predetermined speed and direction during a first portion of the orbital path. The cutting assembly also includes a blade assembly pivotably coupled to the support assembly for cutting the continuous sheet of material as the support assembly moves above the container carriers during the first portion of the orbital path. The cutting assembly further includes an alignment pin for aligning the blade assembly with respect to the container carriers as the blade assembly cuts the sheet of material.
