<p>A device for severing a continuous rod-like member into separate elements during axial movement along a predetermined path through a severance zone comprising a ledger for engaging and maintaining said member in said path during its passage though said zone, means for causing a cutting knife to move along an endless course substantially at right angles to said path, and said course intersecting transversely with said path to sever the member and means for causing the knife to move at a greater speed while it is travelling across said path than in other parts of its movement.</p> |
