20140326115 | METHODS FOR CUTTING MATERIALS - The present disclosure is directed, in part, to a method of cutting or shearing tow fibers, bundles thereof, and/or other materials or bundles thereof. The method comprises rotating a drum comprising a cutting assembly comprising a cutting device about a longitudinal axis of a drive shaft, reciprocally moving a portion of the cutting assembly comprising the cutting device in a direction parallel to or transverse to the longitudinal axis as the cutting assembly is rotated about the longitudinal axis, rotating the cutting device at least 1,000 times per minute), and cutting or shearing the tow fibers, bundles thereof, and/or other materials or bundles thereof with the cutting device. | 11-06-2014 |
20140326118 | CUTTING APPARATUSES - The present disclosure is directed, in part, to a cutting apparatus comprising a drive shaft having a longitudinal axis, a drum configured to orbit the longitudinal axis when driven by the drive shaft, a first actuator, and a cutting assembly joined to the drum and configured to orbit the longitudinal axis with the drum. The cutting assembly comprises a second actuator operably engaged with a portion of the cutting assembly, and a cutting device driven by the second actuator. The second actuator is configured to rotate the cutting device at least 1,500 revolutions per minute during cutting of an article. The first actuator is operably engaged with a portion of the cutting assembly and is configured to reciprocate the cutting device in directions substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis as the cutting assembly orbits the longitudinal axis. | 11-06-2014 |
20140349021 | METHODS AND ASSEMBLIES FOR APPLYING FLOWABLE SUBSTANCES TO SUBSTRATES - The present disclosure is directed, in part, to a method of applying a flowable substance to a substrate. The method comprises contacting a portion of the substrate with a portion of a rotating applicator as the substrate is conveyed, and immersing the portion of the rotating applicator in the flowable substance to accumulate the flowable substance on the portion of the rotating applicator. The method further comprises engaging a metering device with the portion of the rotating applicator, metering a portion of the accumulated flowable substance on the portion of the rotating applicator off of the portion of the rotating applicator using the metering device, and applying a portion of the remaining flowable substance on the portion of the rotating applicator to the portion of the substrate when the portion of the substrate contacts the portion of the rotating applicator. | 11-27-2014 |
