VORRICHTUNG ZUM ABTRENNEN UND BEFESTIGEN VON VERBINDUNGSSTUECKEN.

摘要

An apparatus for automatically severing and joining a joint piece includes feed rollers for feeding a first elongate product along a substantially horizontal path, a feed gripper for feeding a second elongate product along an inclined path extending obliquely to the horizontal path, and a movable cutter movable for transversely cutting off the first elongate product on a first fixed cutter into a product length and then for obliquely cutting off the second elongate product on a second fixed cutter into a joint piece. The movable cutter has a slanted surface for carrying a trailing end of the product length thereon with the joint piece partly overlapping the trailing end. Overlapping portions of the joint piece and the product length are joined to each other into a product with the joint piece having a free end exposed beyond the trailing end.
