Patent number: 6779441Abstract: Disclosed is an automatic metal printer which prints a camera-photographed and computer-processed image on a surface of a hard material, such as a metal sheet, through a dot matrix printing type method wherein brightness of the printed image is expressed in accordance with density of dots in the dot matrix formed on the surface of the hard material. The automatic metal printer includes a platform which reciprocates forward and rearward in a lower portion of a body by a motor-operated first ball screw. A saddle is installed at a position above the platform so as to reciprocate to the left and right in the body by a motor-operated second ball screw. A dotter is vertically installed on the saddle so as to dot the upper surface of the hard material seated on the platform to print a desired image.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2003Date of Patent: August 24, 2004Inventor: Sung Boung Jun

Patent number: 6651538Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for cutting a specimen with a blade that moves forward with oscillation. The apparatus is free from vertical wobbling of the blade even after a long period of use, so that the cutting is carried out without killing cells present in the specimen. The blade is attached to a movable body that is coupled to a base with a resilient coupler. The base is provided with a driving electromagnet, and the movable body is provided with a permanent magnet. Thus, the movable body oscillates by supplying a control signal to the driving electromagnet.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2002Date of Patent: November 25, 2003Assignee: Dosaka EM Co., Ltd.Inventors: Isao Tamura, Sumio Nakajima

Patent number: 6216576Abstract: An object of this invention is to provide a simple construction for preventing a collision of the cutter with the surface of paper at a high speed, and the construction provides a controller 20 that minimizes the impression voltage to a cutter drive actuator 38 in the first stage and gradually increases by stages thereafter. After the impression voltage for descending of the cutter to the cutter drive actuator 38 arrives at a maximum set voltage, the controller 20 switches the impression voltage for the cutter drive actuator 38 to the predetermined voltage for cut, and thereafter, the cut operation proceeds.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 1999Date of Patent: April 17, 2001Assignee: Mutoh Industries Ltd.Inventors: Katsuhiko Ohtani, Takeshi Kishimura

Patent number: 5911807Abstract: Improvements are provided to improve an apparatus and method for processing a substantially constant velocity flow of a web of material, including a cutting mechanism and a web accumulator upstream of the cutter. The improvements include stopping the web by a side surface of the movable blade and configuring the accumulator dimensions and cutting speed to cause an appropriate level of force between the upstream severed end of the web and the blade. Several features achieve a low cutting time and modify cutting force to cut web regions with different characteristics, such as for cutting through splices. A low inertia rotary solenoid accelerates a blade through the web and against a resilient stop. The blade bounces off of the stop to its spring-biased home position. A permanent magnet or electromagnet holds the blade in the home position as solenoid current develops. These features result in reduced noise and shorter cutting time, thereby allowing an increase in web speed.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1996Date of Patent: June 15, 1999Assignee: Markem CorporationInventors: Jeffrey B. Brooks, Jason W. Dean, David A. Kearney, Jonathan P. Oakes

Patent number: 5090284Abstract: In a punching apparatus, a die set supports, in mutual opposition, an upper die part on which a plurality of punch pins upwardly urged by a plurality of springs are axially slidably disposed at predetermined intervals, and a lower die part formed with a plurality of holes opposing the punch pins. A device for driving the punch pins includes a plurality of drive shafts each having at least three shaft portions disposed adjacent to each other, part of the shaft portions being formed of a magnetic material and the remaining part thereof being formed of a non-magnetic material. At least two electromagnetic coils are fitted around the shaft portions of each drive shaft, and a clutch mechanism disposed on one end of each drive shaft separably couples the drive shaft with the punch pin. The driving device greatly reduces the amount of heat generated by the electromagnetic coils to allow the adoption of an air cooling system, and increases punching force to assure positive working.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 1989Date of Patent: February 25, 1992Assignee: Hitachi Seiko, LtdInventor: Kiyoharu Nakajima

Patent number: 5086633Abstract: A punch press is oriented horizontally with the first and second opposed tools being mounted on first and second members both of which are movable horizontally. These motion members are driven with rapid acceleration toward each other for impacting the fast-moving first and second tools simultaneously against opposite sides of material to be formed between the tools. The two opposed motion members are arranged for the momentum of the first tool with its associated moving parts at the instant of impact be equal to the momentum of the second tool with its associated moving parts so that equal and opposite impulses resulting from momentum cancel each other out. As a result of this opposed motion with momentum-balanced-at-impact, very little energy or work is wastefully lost into the platform on which the punch press is supported and only an insignificant or very modest amount of mechanical shock and vibrations are induced into t he platform.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 1990Date of Patent: February 11, 1992Inventor: George M.

Patent number: 4799413Abstract: A cutting arrangement for the cutting to shape of a web-shaped material, such as paper webs (2) in printing presses. The arrangement consists of a cutting element (8) and a backing element (3) over which the paper web runs, in conjunction with which one edge of the cutting element (8) is brought intermittently into contact with the paper web for the purpose of cutting through the paper web in its longitudinal sense. The cutting element (8) is so arranged as to change its position intermittently in relation to the paper web (2) between a first, advanced position in which the cutting element (8) uses its edge to cut through the paper web as it passes over the backing element and a second, withdrawn position in relation to the paper web in which the cutting element is not in contact with the paper web. The intermittent movements of the arm between the first and the second position are controlled by a control unit (12) depending on the advance of the paper web (2).Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 1987Date of Patent: January 24, 1989Assignee: Roy Soderqvist Mekaniska Verkstad ABInventor: Ulf Soderqvist

Patent number: 4223511Abstract: A severing device for use in a semiautomatic machine for facilitating the wrapping of an article with thermoplastic film material. The device is designed as an adapter to fit into a presently known machine to permit the removal of the hot wire presently used in such machines for severing the film and to replace such hot wire by a mechanical device for this purpose whose location and operation will not appreciably, if any, require alteration of the manual sequence previously known for effecting such wrapping. The device includes a knife and knife bed assembly which is relatively movable by electrical means. At least one limit switch is positioned adjacent the meeting zone of the knife and knife bed assembly so that upon movement of the thermoplastic film downwardly by the same motion as previously placed same against the hot wire for severing, the film will contact and actuate the limit switch and thereby actuate the knife and knife bed assembly for effecting such severing.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 1979Date of Patent: September 23, 1980Assignee: Pemco-Kalamazoo, Inc.Inventor: John W.
