A METHOD OF CUTTING STRIPS FROM A WIDE WEB AS WELL AS AN APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD

摘要

Narrow strips are cut transversely to a wide supply web (50) by means of an apparatus comprising a knife (40) and a sectionally divided cylinder (10). The cutting edge (49) of the knife is curved, so that when caused to perform a rocking movement it is moved inwardly between the sections (11) of the cylinder (10) and forms a cutting point which is moved transversely to the supply web (50) during cutting. Because of the rocking movement and the curvature of the knife (40) the first end of the knife (40) will be returned from the cylinder (10) prior to the termination of cutting.
