  • Patent number: 4570518
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for slitting of continuous webs into ribbons. The apparatus is composed of a series of cutters, preferably of the crush-cutter type that are slidably mounted on a support such as rail or series of rails. The cutters are each provided with a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket on each cutter is adapted to receive two individual adjustment devices. The adjustment devices are provided to individually and rigidly connect each adjacent cutter. In the preferred system, the individual adjustment devices are threaded studs with a center adjustment nut that is turned to bring the cutters closer or provide greater distance between them. Adjustment of any single stud leads to movement of the whole series of cutters as the individual devices between the other cutters will maintain their distance between adjacent cutters, and the cutters will slide upon the mounting rails.
