<p>An improved cut length adjusting apparatus in a folding machine of a rotary press is disclosed. The folding machine generally consists of a saw drum having two saw blades (1,1') disposed on its circumference nearly at equal angular intervals, and a folding drum (23) rotating synchronously with but in the opposite direction to the saw drum. The saw drum is formed of an outer cylinder (12) and an inner cylinder (13) which are mutually rotatable and which have one saw blade respectively projected therefrom. The improvements reside in that a helical gear (15,26) adapted to be meshed with another helical gear at the axial end of the folding drum is provided at the axial end of at least one of the outer and inner cylinders, and either one of the helical gear (15,26) at the axial end of the outer or inner cylinder and the helical gear at the axial end of the folding drum is formed to be movable in the axial direction. Owing to the improved structure, by moving either one of the above-mentioned helical gears in the axial direction, the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder are relatively rotated, and so, the circumferential distance between the two saw blades are varied. Thereby the cut length of a sheet to be cut by these saw blades can be precisely adjusted.</p> |
