Abstract
Abstract A running web of tipping paper in a filter tipping machine is attracted to the peripheral surface of a rotary suction conveyor constituting a counterknife for a set of equidistant knives which are radially movably mounted in axially parallel grooves of a rotary knife carrier. Each knife is adjustable radially of the carrier by a discrete first adjusting device, and all of the knives are adjustable simultaneously by a common adjusting device having a support movable axially of the carrier and mounting all of the first adjusting devices. Simultaneous radial adjustment of all of the knives by the common adjusting device is effected after certain periods of use and attendant wear upon the cutting edges of the knives.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
109 words
Apparatus for subdividing a running web, particularly a web of tipping paper in a filter tipping machine, into discrete sections, comprising a rotary knife carrier; a counterknife adjacent to and defining with said carrier a path for the running web substantially at right angles to the axis of the carrier; a plurality of adjustable knives on said carrier; a discrete first adjusting device for each of said knives, each of said first adjusting devices including means for adjusting the respective knife substantially radially of said carrier; and an adjusting device common to said knives and including means for simultaneously moving all of said knives substantially radially of said carrier.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
109 words
Apparatus for subdividing a running web, particularly a web of tipping paper in a filter tipping machine, into discrete sections, comprising a rotary knife carrier; a counterknife adjacent to and defining with said carrier a path for the running web substantially at right angles to the axis of the carrier; a plurality of adjustable knives on said carrier; a discrete first adjusting device for each of said knives, each of said first adjusting devices including means for adjusting the respective knife substantially radially of said carrier; and an adjusting device common to said knives and including means for simultaneously moving all of said knives substantially radially of said carrier.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said counterknife is rotatable about an axis which is spaced from the axis of said carrier.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said carrier comprises substantially radially extending guide means movably receiving said knives.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said common adjusting device comprises a support for all of said first adjusting devices.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
The apparatus of claim 4, wherein said support constitutes a component of said means for simultaneously moving all of said knives.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
54 words
The apparatus of claim 1, wherein each of said first adjusting devices comprises a knife-displacing member having a cam engaging the respective knife and means for moving said displacing member in parallelism with the axis of said carrier to thereby move the respective knife radially of said carrier through the medium of said cam.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
29 words
The apparatus of claim 6, wherein said common adjusting device comprises a support for the displacing members and for the moving means of all of said first adjusting devices.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
23 words
The apparatus of claim 7, wherein said moving means include screws meshing with the respective displacing members and rotatably mounted in said support.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
17 words
The apparatus of claim 8, wherein said displacing members include substantially wedge-like portions constituting the respective cams.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
25 words
The apparatus of claim 7, wherein said carrier has an end face and said support includes an annulus which is adjacent to said end face.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
26 words
The apparatus of claim 7, wherein said common adjusting device further comprises means for moving said support and said first adjusting devices axially of said carrier.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
22 words
The apparatus of claim 11, wherein said carrier comprises a shaft and said support surrounds and is movable axially of said shaft.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
70 words
The apparatus of claim 12, wherein said support includes a collar supporting said first adjusting devices, a sleeve surrounding said shaft and rigid with said collar, said sleeve having an end portion extending beyond said shaft and said support further comprising a lid on the end portion of said sleeve, said means for moving said support including an externally threaded rotary member engaging said lid and meshing with said shaft.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
21 words
The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the axis of said externally threaded member is parallel to the axis of said shaft.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
51 words
The apparatus of claim 14, wherein said externally threaded member has a first thread meshing with said shaft and a different second thread meshing with said lid so that said lid moves with reference to said shaft in response to rotation of said externally threaded member with reference to said shaft.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
20 words
The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the lead of said first thread deviates from the lead of said second thread.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
