摘要

"folding drum and folding assembly, folding machine, folder arrangement and methods of interaction of folding assembly of a first folding cylinder with a clamping and folding assembly of laminar material". an interlocking machine includes a first folding cylinder with a series of claw assemblies and a series of evenly and alternately spaced folder assemblies for interaction with a series of clamp and folder assemblies of an adjacent second folding cylinder. The series of alternate clamp and bend assemblies interact to hold, load and release a sheet of material to generate an interleaved sheet pile. each folder assembly includes an outwardly driven folder element which is operable for self-centering in a slot formed in the folding cylinder. the bender assembly further includes a pin-mounted roller on the bender element so that the bender element rolls along a slit-defined surface. Another embodiment of the folder assembly includes a pivot spring and a damper for self-centering the folder element in the slot.
