<p>A method and apparatus for manufacturing an object of a folded sheet material has improved slitting, scoring/crushing, gathering, and folding sections or devices. Qualifying means (119/141), slitting means (122/127), and scoring/crushing means (100) are adjustable with respect to a flat, planar path of movement so that a blank of sheet material (67, 82) moves through the machine without causing the blank to assume an 'S' shape, or otherwise suffer loss of paper control. Identifying rollers (101) slightly pre-fold the blank before it enters the gathering section (102) for additional pre-folding. There are also provided novel slitting/scoring heads (233) on the scoring means (100), (shown in the figure) which are easily changed in number of configuration, and have easily replaceable split blades (230).</p> |
