DUAL BELT MACHINE FOR TRIMMING PROJECTIONS FROM GLOBULAR ARTICLES

摘要

By engagement of pad means with the upper side of a globular article, it is rolled along guideways in a compound rotation, which periodically moves a projection of the article through the slot of the guideways. Such compound rotation is effected by moving pad means above guideways in a direction generally lengthwise of the guideways. Such pad means are spaced parallel belts one of which travels faster than the other. Knife blades are rotated closely beneath the guideways to sever projections of articles extending through the slot of the guideways.
