Abstract
Abstract A numerically controlled device such as a numerically controlled slitter device has a plurality of units. Intervals between the units are numerically controlled to desired values by moving the units. The numerically controlled device comprises an endless belt and a stationary belt provided through the respective units, driving means for driving the endless belt under a numeral control to move the respective units and a clutch provided at the respective units. The clutch includes a forward path clamper for selectively clamping the forward path of the endless belt, a backward path clamper for selectively clamping the backward path of the endless belt and a stationary belt clamper for selectively clamping the stationary belt to positively hold the respective unit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
A numerically controlled device having a plurality of units in which intervals between said units are numerically controlled to desired values by moving said units, said device comprising an endless belt provided through each of said units and having a forward path and a backward path, a stationary belt provided between said forward path and said backward path of said endless belt and extending parallel to said forward path and said backward path, driving means for driving said endless belt under a numerical control to move each of said units, and clutch means provided on each of said units, said clutch means having a forward path clamper for selectively clamping a respective unit to said forward path of said endless belt, a backward path clamper for selectively clamping the respective unit to said backward path of said endless belt and a stationary belt clamper for selectively clamping the respective unit to said stationary belt.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
154 words
A numerically controlled device having a plurality of units in which intervals between said units are numerically controlled to desired values by moving said units, said device comprising an endless belt provided through each of said units and having a forward path and a backward path, a stationary belt provided between said forward path and said backward path of said endless belt and extending parallel to said forward path and said backward path, driving means for driving said endless belt under a numerical control to move each of said units, and clutch means provided on each of said units, said clutch means having a forward path clamper for selectively clamping a respective unit to said forward path of said endless belt, a backward path clamper for selectively clamping the respective unit to said backward path of said endless belt and a stationary belt clamper for selectively clamping the respective unit to said stationary belt.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
76 words
A numerically controlled device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said units include a plurality of cooperating pairs of upper and lower slitting knife units, the stationary and endless belts being provided through the upper unit of each pair; and said device includes a second endless belt and a second stationary belt extending parallel between forward and backward paths of the second endless belt, said second belts being provided through the lower unit of each pair.
