.~ Centrifugal feed to tangential tool (e.g., "Beria" type)
DEFINITION
Classification: 83/403
(under subclass 401) Device in which the work conveyor comprises a rotatable disc having a work passageway starting at the center of one of its faces and terminating in its periphery and in which the cutter has a cutting plane substantially perpendicular to the disc radius which defines the axis of the passageway at the moment of cutting.
(1) Note. The patents included herein are commonly known as Beria-type fiber cutters after the name of the inventor of the device of U.S. Patent No. 1,723,998. In this and other patents of this type, filamentary material is led axially into the center of the disc wherein the material makes a right angled turn into a work passage, usually radial, and flows through the passage. The rotation of the disc effects revolution of the radially extending portion of the filament in the plane of the rotating disc, and the centrifugal force imparted by the rotation simultaneously effects movement of the filament outwardly of the axis.
