摘要:
In an apparatus for helically slitting a continuous tubular film of synthetic thermoplastic material, a pair of feed rollers for feeding flattened continuous tubular film to a mandrel are mounted at fixed locations in a main frame. A rotary support mounted in the main frame carries the mandrel which consists of spaced apart low-friction bars disposed in a circular array concentric to the axis of rotation of the rotary support. A cutter is adapted to slit the tubular film as it traverses the mandrel. The axis of rotation of the support is aligned with the nip between the feed rollers approximately at the center of their length. A reversing rod and a deflecting or guide roller are connected to the rotary support for guiding the slit film from the mandrel to a winder. The winder has a winding axis aligned with or intersecting the axis of rotation of the rotary support at a right angle. A spreader for opening out the film is disposed between the feed rollers and the mandrel. The apparatus may be disposed vertically or horizontally.

In an apparatus for cutting a tubular film into an elongated strip wherein the tubular film is fed at a given velocity in flattened form from a supply reel to an expansion zone where the film is expanded into a tube, advanced after such expansion along a mandrel, cut into a flat strip while advancing along the mandrel, and the flat strip is removed from the mandrel at an angle to the mandrel axis, the mandrel is hollow and air is introduced into the hollow mandrel under sufficient pressure that the flattened film is expanded into a relatively stiff cylindrical tube that makes a sliding fit with the mandrel and resists deformation while being supported thereon, Improved positive control over the film during its expansion and advance to the mandrel is achieved by means of moving surfaces, e.g. endless belts or roller arrays, that define a diverging expansion zone and are driven at a velocity equal to the velocity at which the film is fed. The supply means can be a reel of flattened film arranged with its axis either parallel to the mandrel axis or generally transverse thereto and in the latter case, the reel is associated with guiding devices which translate around the reel periphery for withdrawing the film therefrom and then guide the flattened film into convergence with the mandrel axis. The supply reel and the guide devices can be mounted in a common unwinding unit which is supported by a bearing ring that is in turn supported by a journal.
摘要:
A method of helically cutting a tubular film of thermoplastic material, in which a film in lay flat form, discharged from a reel, is brought to rotate around the middle axis of the film by means of rotating unwind devices, and while the rotating tube proceeds over the mandrel it is cut to non-tubular form by a knife, the position of which is fixed in relation to the surroundings, and the cut film is taken off from the mandrel, characterized in that the inflated film while being forwarded towards the mandrel or while it passes the upstream end of the mandrel, or both, is supported by driven support means placed around the outside of the tubular film, the movement of the support means being adapted to fit with the combined rotation and forwarding movement of the film.
