Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
In a drive for a paper cutting or shredding mechanism including two counter-rotating cutting rollers respectively having cutting knives thereon in cutting engagement with each other, said rollers being mounted in a frame for rotation about spaced, parallel, fixed axes, the improvement comprising: two alternating current motors coupled in parallel across a source of alternating current, said motors having substantially identical speed-torque characteristics, and gearing means drivingly connecting each motor to a respective roller for independently driving the same whereby an overload condition on one roller and its respective motor results in equalizing the load between both motors.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
98 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
11 words
The drive of claim 1 wherein said motors are induction motors.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
The drive of claim 2 wherein said source is single phase, and said motors are of the single phase type.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
47 words
The drive of claim 3 wherein each of said motors has a two phase field winding, and further comprising a single capacitor, and means for coupling said capacitor in series with one phase of the field winding of each motor thereby to provide a permanent-split capacitor motor.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
13 words
The drive of claim 4 wherein said coupling means includes a reversing switch.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
The drive of claim 1 further comprising means for relatively moving said rollers axially thereby to adjust said cutting knives.
