  • Rotating-drum flying shear
    Patent number: 6370998
    Abstract: Upper and lower rotating drums (13, 14) having shearing blades (13a, 14a) are supported by a bearing frame (12) via eccentric sleeves (15, 16). Only the upper rotating drum (13) is rotated by a drive motor 17, while the eccentric sleeves (15, 16) are rotated by a drive motor 25, so that the rotating drums (13, 14) can be made to approach and separate from each other. Interlocking gears (29, 30) are fixed to shaft end portions of the rotating drums (13, 14) to permit interlocking of the rotating drums (13, 14) when these drums approach. Oldham's couplings (41, 42) are interposed between the interlocking gears (29, 30) and timing gears (33, 34) to rotate the rotating drums (13, 14) constantly and synchronously.
