Device for producing a curved strip, in particular a curved, flat composite cable

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for producing a curved strip, in particular a curved, flat composite cable. Said device comprises a drive device with rotating clamping elements, which is located downstream of the weaving device. In addition, at least two take-off rollers ( 1, 2 ), at least one ( 1 ) of which is driven, are provided in a frame ( 5 ). The frame ( 5 ) can be pivoted about an axis (Z) which is perpendicular to the plane of the strip. The pivoting axis (Z) of the frame ( 5 ) can also be displaced transversely to the direction of movement of the strip. The take-off rollers ( 1, 2, ) can be profiled according to the profile of the thickness of the strip. The non-driven pressure rollers ( 2 ) can consist of segments of different diameters which are pushed onto a fixed shaft. The take-off rollers ( 1, 2 ) are preferably designed to be free-running.

1 . An apparatus for producing a curved strip, especially, a curved flat composite cable, the apparatus comprising a drive device having rotating clamp elements disposed downstream of a weaving device, characterized in that at least two withdrawal rollers are mounted in a frame or support structure, of which at least one of the withdrawal rollers is driven, whereby the frame or support structure is pivotable about an axis (Z) perpendicular to the plane of the strip and the pivot of the frame is, additionally, displaceable transversely to the direction of movement of the strip.  
     
     
         2 . An apparatus according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the withdrawal rollers can be correspondingly advantageously profiled in correspondence with the thickness profile of the strip.  
     
     
         3 . An apparatus according to  claim 1  and  2 , characterized in that the non-driven or idle withdrawal rollers (press or nip rollers) are comprised of segments of differing diameters which are inserted onto a fixed axis.  
     
     
         4 . An apparatus according to  claim 1  to  3 , characterized in that the withdrawal rollers comprise a free rolling portion.
