US Patent:

41777301, Dec 11, 1979

Filed:

Nov 4, 1976

Appl. No.:

5/738751

Inventors:

Louis Schriber - Dayton OH
Robert E. Stephens - Dayton OH
John F. Blaha - Dayton OH

Assignee:

Harris Corporation - Melbourne FL

International Classification:

B41F 508
B41F 1314
B41F 2900

US Classification:

101248

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for makeready of a web press having an unwind apparatus for supporting a rolled web of material and having a plurality of rotatable members in spaced alignment defining a path for the web and arranged to perform operations on said web such as printing, perforating, numbering, punching or slitting, wherein the members are rotated in synchronism and are adjustable laterally and/or circumferentially with respect to the web path, is disclosed as comprising markings and scales establishing a reference position in the unwind apparatus for the rolled web and establishing separate side reference positions for each of said rotatable members which has a lateral adjustment with respect to the unwind reference position, and further markings and scales establishing a circumferential reference position for each of said rotatable members with respect to each other. A coordinate layout system for preparing a makeready job sheet is also provided with marks corresponding to the reference positions and scales in dimensions corresponding to said scale devices. A job sheet having dimensional settings is prepared with the layout system, using a representation of the desired product, whereby measurements are provided for lateral and circumferential adjustment of the adjustable rotatable members using their respective scale devices and the settings for the rotatable members can be accomplished with precision to minimizie their adjustment once the web is threaded through the press and a run is started.

Assignee:

Harris Corporation - Cleveland OH

International Classification:

B65H 3900

US Classification:

270 52

Abstract:

A collator for assembling continuous business forms or the like has arbors supported in spaced cantilever fashion over a platform, and can be moved by fluid motors between a loading position where rolls are mounted from the platform onto the arbors, and a raised supply position from which web material is unwound from the roll. Each arbor is manually adjustable in the loading position to align the roll core and the arbor so that the roll can be quickly mounted. A dolly is provided on the platform near each arbor to transport rolls in a horizontal direction to and onto the arbor. A counterbalance offsets the weight of the arbor and its support to ease manual alignment of the arbor shaft with the core of a new roll. Ramps extend from the platform to the floor, allowing large heavy rolls to be rolled onto the dollies.

Abstract:

Apparatus for makeready of a business forms press having an unwind apparatus (12) for supporting a rolled web (20) of material and having a plurality of rotatable members in spaced alignment defining a path for the web and arranged to perform operations on said web such as printing (22, 23), perforating (45), numbering (35), punching (40, 42) or slitting, wherein the members are rotated in synchronism and are adjustable laterally and/or circumferentially with respect to the web path, is disclosed as comprising markings (90) and scales (110) establishing a reference position in the unwind apparatus for the rolled web and further devices (125, 230, 250, 270, 297, 327) establishing separate side reference positions for each of said rotatable members which has a lateral adjustment with respect to the unwind reference position, and further markings and scales (128, 222, 247, 272, 298, 308) establishing a circumferential reference position for each of said rotatable members with respect to each other. A coordinate layout system (62, 64, 68) for preparing a makeready job sheet is also provided with marks corresponding to the reference positions and scales in dimensions corresponding to said scale devices. A job sheet having dimensional settings is prepared with the layout system, using a representation of the desired product, whereby measurements are provided for lateral and circumferential adjustment of the adjustable rotatable members using their respective scale devices and the settings for the rotatable members can be accomplished with precision to minimize their adjustment once the web is threaded through the press and a run is started.
