Abstract

Abstract A rotatable cutter member is mounted on a movable carrier such that its center of gravity is located on the shaft connected to the movable carrier. Thus, the cutter member can freely position itself relative to a moving web that is to be cut without introducing unwanted tension or an irregular cut line. A guide track supports the movement of the carrier while the cutter member forms a V-notch cutting edge.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 126 words
A cutting assembly for cutting a relatively moving member with a minimum of tension in the member comprising: a carrier member; guide means for the carrier member; means for moving the carrier member, cutter means mounted on the carrier member and freely rotatable relative to the moving member for cutting the moving member as a function of the sPeed of the carrier member and the moving member, said cutter means including a support member and a cutter blade, said cutter blade being located at one end of the support member, a shaft connecting the support member to the carrier member at the center of gravity of the support member and the cutter blade and said cutter blade being V-shaped and fixed relative to said support member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 126 words
A cutting assembly for cutting a relatively moving member with a minimum of tension in the member comprising: a carrier member; guide means for the carrier member; means for moving the carrier member, cutter means mounted on the carrier member and freely rotatable relative to the moving member for cutting the moving member as a function of the sPeed of the carrier member and the moving member, said cutter means including a support member and a cutter blade, said cutter blade being located at one end of the support member, a shaft connecting the support member to the carrier member at the center of gravity of the support member and the cutter blade and said cutter blade being V-shaped and fixed relative to said support member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 16 words
A cutting assembly as in claim 1, where a variable speed means drives the carrier member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 14 words
A cutting assembly as in claim 1, where the guide means includes a track.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 23 words
A cutting assembly as in claim 1, where the support member is counter balanced with respect to the weight of the cutter blade.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 35 words
A cutting assembly as in claim 2, where the cutting angle between the moving member and the cutter blade is Theta tan 1Vw/Vc, where Vw equals moving member velocity and Vc equals cutter blade velocity.
