Abstract
Abstract A web is reciprocated through a treatment roll pair so that a succession of treated areas is formed on the web, one of said areas being formed on each forward movement, and the reverse movements serving to enable re-positioning of the web and avoiding waste between each two said areas. Two pairs of feed rolls are provided, one pair for forward feed and one pair for reverse feed. Each feed roll pair is engageable with and releasable from the web by having separable rolls. The feed rolls are all driven from a common camshaft.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
191 words
Treatment apparatus comprising a pair of treatment rolls arranged to operate on web material during a portion of each revolution of at least one of said rolls, a cam shaft carrying one of the rolls and a plurality of cam tracks, two pairs of feed rolls driven from the same cam shaft and arranged to drive the web in opposite directions, and independently adjustable variable drive transmission means so connected to the feed rolls that a synchronised area of web is delivered to the treatment rolls at the speed of the treatment rolls in each cycle of the treatment rolls, the respective transmission means for each of the pairs of feed rolls including a pivotally mounted sector for driving one of the feed rolls of the respective pair of feed rolls, a pair of cam followers carried by the sector and engaging different ones of two of said cam tracks, a pivotally mounted crank connected to lift off and drop down the other one of the feed rolls of the respective pair of feed rolls, and cam follower means driven by a third of said cam tracks for operating the crank.
