Abstract

Abstract A method and a device for cutting out pieces of material webs, the cutting taking place between a spherical surface and a sharp edge. The spherical surface consists of a freely movable, non-driven ball. The ball can be made of hard material such as steel and the cutting edge of softer material, or vice versa. The device consists of a roller over which the web is led and a member acting against it. The roller has a groove corresponding to the desired contours of the formed piece. A ball, guided by the groove made in the roller, presses against the edge of the groove for cutting through the web.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 112 words
Device for cutting out formed pieces from thin web material, comprising a roller over which the web is led and means acting against the roller to press the web against the roller, characterized in that in the roller there is cut out a groove corresponding to the desired contours of the formed piece, the groove being disposed about the roller in a path whose position varies lengthwise of the rollers, and that a member is disposed to press against the edge of the groove and thereby cut through the material web, and means mounting said member for oscillatory movement lengthwise of said roller to follow said groove upon rotation of said roller.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 112 words
Device for cutting out formed pieces from thin web material, comprising a roller over which the web is led and means acting against the roller to press the web against the roller, characterized in that in the roller there is cut out a groove corresponding to the desired contours of the formed piece, the groove being disposed about the roller in a path whose position varies lengthwise of the rollers, and that a member is disposed to press against the edge of the groove and thereby cut through the material web, and means mounting said member for oscillatory movement lengthwise of said roller to follow said groove upon rotation of said roller.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 22 words
Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the member is arranged to be guided by the groove cut into the roller.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 13 words
Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the member is a ball.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 40 words
Device according to claim 1, characterized in that said means is an endless belt that circulates with a speed equal to the peripheral speed of rotation of the roller thereby to advance the web between the belt and the roller.
