US Classification:

72181, 72237, 724811

Abstract:

An adjustment mechanism kit to convert an existing machine having incumbent, or existing, mechanisms to incorporate replacement or upgraded mechanisms. Depending on the application, it may be necessary to adjust the elevation of the replacement mechanisms in order to accommodate tooling attached (or to be attached) thereto. For example, in the case where the replacement tooling and support bar assembly is taller than the existing, or incumbent, tooling and support bar assembly, the replacement support bar assembly may be mounted at a lower elevation relative to the existing equipment in order to provide clearance to a framework, for instance. As such, the kits include not only the replacement mechanisms but the necessary mounts and adaptors for adjusting the elevation of the mechanisms. Various portions of the kit may be combined and packaged as separate kits.

US Classification:

72181, 72237

Abstract:

A mechanism for use in adjusting the position of components in a machine including an elongate shaft assembly, at least one projection shaft extending in a direction transverse to said elongate shaft assembly, and a support frame. The elongate shaft assembly includes at least one primary shaft segment, and at least one secondary shaft segment removably coupled to the primary shaft segment, the secondary shaft segment includes a first gear. The projection shaft extends in a direction transverse to the elongate shaft assembly and includes a second gear element disposed on its proximal end portion. The second gear element is coupled to the first gear element whereby rotation of the elongate shaft assembly translates into rotation of the projection shaft. The projection shaft is capable of being coupled to the components such that rotation of the projection shaft operates to adjust the position of the components.

US Classification:

83 13, 83418, 83825

Abstract:

A sheet material slitter with a guide assembly for receiving the edges of material along a slit formed in the sheet material. The slitter includes a cutting assembly in the form of a pair of cooperative slitting knives rotatably mounted in axially offset relation. A drive motor is coupled to the slitting knives and operative to counter-rotate the knives such that sheet material fed into the slitter is drawn through the slitter as the material is cut to form a slit. The guide assembly is mounted adjacent the slitting knives and comprises a pair of guide rollers rotatably supported in axially spaced relation. Each guide roller is capable of receiving a respective edge of material along the slit formed in the sheet material. The guide rollers are supported in substantially parallel relation to one another and may be supported at an angle with respect to the slitting knives.

US Classification:

72176, 72428

Abstract:

A forming machine for forming a longitudinal margin of a strip of material into a desired profile and methods encompassing the steps inherent in the described mechanical structures and operation thereof. The forming machine includes a frame, a drive mechanism, a plurality of forming elements, and an edge guide mechanism. The edge guide mechanism applies pressure along the edge margin in a lateral direction, thereby following the edge margin as the strip is advanced through the machine. The edge guide includes a carriage assembly attached to the frame that comprises a carriage support frame and a carriage movably disposed thereon. The edge guide mechanism includes an actuator connected to the carriage that is operative to urge the carriage toward edge margin. At least one guide roller is mounted to the carriage and adapted to receive the edge margin of the strip.
