Method And Apparatus For Skiving Belt Ends

View page
US Patent:
58528776, Dec 29, 1998
Filed:
Jul 23, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/685275
Inventors:
David A. Lotarski - Bolingbrook IL
Joseph C. Vogrig - Naperville IL
Assignee:
Flexible Steel Lacing Company - Downers Grove IL
International Classification:
B26D 306
B26D 328
US Classification:
30290
Abstract:
A belt skiving apparatus and method in which a free-standing blade-carrying carriage is employed which does not require a guiding base. The carriage has a pair of rollers defining a nip into which a belt end to be skived is passed. The rollers press together about the belt end to securely grip the belt. One of the rollers is toothed to provide a non-slip engagement with the surface of the belt and at least one of the rollers is driven, preferably manually, through a crank arm. Rotation of the rollers advances the carriage relative to the belt to advance the carriage across the width of the belt. As the carriage is advanced, the belt is passed through the rollers and through a cutting blade disposed adjacent the rollers. As the carriage is advanced along the width of the belt, the blade slices a thin strip of the upper portion of the belt adjacent its upper face from the remainder of the belt. The thin strip that is removed is the portion of the belt that was punctured by the teeth of the driving roller.

US Patent:
57715866, Jun 30, 1998
Filed:
Jun 6, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/467589
Inventors:
David A. Lotarski - Bolingbrook IL
Joseph C. Vogrig - Naperville IL
Assignee:
Flexible Steel Lacing Company - Downers Grove IL
International Classification:
B26D 306
B26D 328
US Classification:
30293
Abstract:
A belt skiving apparatus is provided having a free-standing blade-carrying carriage mounting a pair of rollers defining a nip into which a belt end to be skived is passed. The rollers press together about the belt end to securely grip the belt, with at least one of the rollers being driven, preferably manually, through a crank arm. Rotation of the rollers advances the carriage relative to the belt to advance the carriage across the width of the belt. As the carriage is advanced, the belt is passed through the rollers and through a cutting blade disposed adjacent the rollers, with the blade slicing a thin strip of the upper portion of the belt adjacent its upper face from the remainder of the belt. The rollers may be driven by a ratchet arm to move the carriage along the belt end. Preferably, two pairs of rollers are employed on the carriage, one forward and one rearward of the blade to cut the uncut portion remaining at the trailing side of the belt after the belt passes through the forward roller pair.
