Abstract
Abstract Apparatus for processing sheet material, comprising cutting means to cut the sheet material and which comprise an elongated longitudinally extending bed on which the material is supported during cutting, material supplying means which reciprocate relatively to the cutting means in a longitudinal direction, driving means for feeding the sheet material towards the cutting means, deflecting and guiding means for passing the material towards the cutting means, and a carrier for supporting rolls of sheet material to be processed, the carrier being movable with the material supplying means.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
177 words
An apparatus for processing sheet material, comprising in combination, a stationary cutting means which is operative to cut portions of sheet material and which comprises an elongated longitudinally extending bed on which the sheet material is supported during cutting; sheet material supplying means which is movable within end limits relatively to the cutting means in a longitudinal direction and which include first driving means for effecting longitudinal movement of The material supplying means, second driving means for feeding the sheet material towards the cutting means, and deflecting and guiding means for passing the material towards the cutting means; a carrier for supporting rolls of sheet material to be processed, said carrier being coupled to the material supplying means; and wherein the material supplying means comprises a substantially horizontal base frame and a substantially vertical carrying frame mounted on the base frame, the base frame including at least part of the deflecting and guiding means for the sheet material to be processed, said carrying frame including at least part of the second driving means for feeding the material.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
177 words
An apparatus for processing sheet material, comprising in combination, a stationary cutting means which is operative to cut portions of sheet material and which comprises an elongated longitudinally extending bed on which the sheet material is supported during cutting; sheet material supplying means which is movable within end limits relatively to the cutting means in a longitudinal direction and which include first driving means for effecting longitudinal movement of The material supplying means, second driving means for feeding the sheet material towards the cutting means, and deflecting and guiding means for passing the material towards the cutting means; a carrier for supporting rolls of sheet material to be processed, said carrier being coupled to the material supplying means; and wherein the material supplying means comprises a substantially horizontal base frame and a substantially vertical carrying frame mounted on the base frame, the base frame including at least part of the deflecting and guiding means for the sheet material to be processed, said carrying frame including at least part of the second driving means for feeding the material.
