- a continuous sheet 40 of corrugated fibreboard or the like which isspaced inwardly of the bottom or inner surface of the cover halves 32 and 34 and extends across the ribs 36, as is clear from FIGURES l and 2.
- the corrugations run axially or transversely of the cover 30, thereby affording maximum rigidity against the cutting die, yet providing annular flexibility for mounting of the cover halves 32 and 34, and the like.
- Spaces 42 are employed in molding 30 with the insert sheet 40 spaced as shown in FIGURES l and 2.
- the cover 30 may comprise a single member or several segments rather than the two halves 32 and 34.

- the disposition of the reinforcing sheet 40 over the ribs 36 establishes an even cutting pressure across the outer surface of the cover 30. It is clear that even if a major part of the penetration of the dies is between the ribs 36 and a little concavity develops in this area, there will be no outward effect on the ribs 36 to cause binding.
- FIGURES 9-13 is a rotary anvil 70 including a base member 72 formed as two halves 74 and 76. Each half 74 and 76 includes an annular groove 78 of the cross section illustrated.

U.S. PATENT 3,522,754
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field Of The Invention The present invention relates generally to the rotary diecutting art, and more particularly to an improved freewheeling rotary anvil cover used in the cutting of corrugated boxes, and the like.
2. Description OfThe Prior Art In the rotary die-cutting art, rotary anvil constructions employ covers of resilient material, such as rubber, synthetic rubber, polyurethane, and the like, against which the cutting dies work.- Freewheeling covers have been employed, such as that in the applicant's United States Patent No. 3,274,873. However, even in this improved construction of the applicant's patent, under persistent cutting between the ribs of the cover, the bridging portion becomes deformed, and, in effect, raises to cause binding of the ribs in the grooves, thereby reducing and, in many instances, eventually stopping the freewheeling action. In fact, in rotary die setups where the ratio of the cutter and anvil is one to one, upon the sticking of the cover, dust from the cutting action has worked into open cuts in the cover and hardened under further action to such an extent that cutter knives have been broken against the hard surface. Efforts heretofore made in connection with alleviating the problem have been unsuccessful insofar as the applicant knows.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In brief, the present novel reinforced freewheeling anvil cover includes a continous fibreboard, and the like, insert, preferably corrugated for greater strength, which is secured within or to the cover in the molding operation, being located at or adjacent to the inner surface of the cover with the corrugations running axially or transverse to the cover, thereby providing annular flexibility and axial rigidity. A modified cover is of one or more pieces being secured in position by interlocking lugs and recesses and against axial movement by annular interengaging ribs and grooves.
Therefore, objects of the present invention are to provide a novel reinforced freewheeling flexible cover for a rotary die anvil which is an acceptable commercial solution to the present binding problem existing in freewheeling flexible anvil covers, which is of sturdy, long-wearing construction and adapted to further increase the already long life of a freewheeling flexible die-cutting anvil cover, which can be. readily employed in the die-cutting art without expensive manufacturing requirements, and which fulfills the objects and advantages sought therefor. Further objects are to provide an improved freewheeling flexible cover having novel locking and axial movement prevention means which resists binding and permits long freewheeling use.
The foregoing and other objects and advantages are apparent from the following description taken with accompanying drawings.

FIGURES 12 and 13 are cross-sectional views taken, respectively, on the lines 12ll2 and 13-13 of FIGURE 10.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to the drawings more particularly by reference numerals, 20 indicates generally an anvil employed in rotary die-cutting incorporating the teachings of the present invention, including a base member 22 formed as two halves 24 and 26. Each half 24 and 26 includes annular, peripheral grooves, channels or slots 28 of inverted T-cross section, two being illustrated as formed in the base member 22.
On the base member 22 is a resilient cover 30 comprising two halves 32 and 34 of polyurethane, or other suitable resilient material. Each cover half 32 and 34 includes internally disposed annular ribs 36 of inverted T-cross section which engage in the channels 28. Embedded in each cover half 32 and 34 is a continuous sheet 40 of corrugated fibreboard or the like, which isspaced inwardly of the bottom or inner surface of the cover halves 32 and 34 and extends across the ribs 36, as is clear from FIGURES l and 2. The corrugations run axially or transversely of the cover 30, thereby affording maximum rigidity against the cutting die, yet providing annular flexibility for mounting of the cover halves 32 and 34, and the like. Spaces 42 are employed in molding 30 with the insert sheet 40 spaced as shown in FIGURES l and 2. The cover 30 may comprise a single member or several segments rather than the two halves 32 and 34. A modified sheet 40is illustrated in FIGURE 8 in which the corrugations are more sharply defined.
In FIGURE 6 is shown a modified cover 46 in which the sheet 40 is flush with the bottom or inner surface thereof. Spaced apertures 48 are formed in the fibreboard sheet 40 to tie the annular ribs 36 into the main body of the cover 30 as an integrated structure, if desired. However, test covers 30 of polyurethane made to date have not required the apertures 48. They may be essential with some materials.
In FIGURE 5, the anvil 20 is illustrated as splined on a lower roll 50. Onto an upper roll 52 is splined a cutting die support 54 on which is mounted a cutting rule or blade retainer 56 which retains a cutting rule or blade 58. The cutting rule 58 is illustrated as penetrating the paperboard 60 and cutting a little into the anvil cover 30. Since the anvil cover 30 is annularly movable relative to the anvil base 22, the cutting or gouging effect of the cuttingrule 58 is reduced to a minimum. In fact, anvils constructed in accordance with the principles of the anvil 20 have served continuously in the rotary die cutting of over two and half million box blanks, each box blank taking two cuts, hence, over five million cuts. This is between one hundred and two hundred times the life of resilient anvils heretofore employed.
It is manifest from the foregoing description and the drawings that in the improved reinforced cover 30, the span between the ribs 36 is strengthened to eliminate raising of the nature illustrated in FIGURE 7 of the drawings. There can be no outward or spreading vector on the ribs 36 to cause binding and ultimate freezing of the cover 30 against annular movement, as with the cover of FIGURE 7. Additionally, the disposition of the reinforcing sheet 40 over the ribs 36 establishes an even cutting pressure across the outer surface of the cover 30. It is clear that even if a major part of the penetration of the dies is between the ribs 36 and a little concavity develops in this area, there will be no outward effect on the ribs 36 to cause binding.
In FIGURES 9-13 is a rotary anvil 70 including a base member 72 formed as two halves 74 and 76. Each half 74 and 76 includes an annular groove 78 of the cross section illustrated. A one-piece resilient cover 80 of polyurethane, or other suitable material is disposed on the base member 72. The cover 80 may be in two or more pieces. The cover 80 has an annular rib 82 disposed in the groove 78 comfortably filling it so there is no depressive effect radially inwardly of the anvil 70 caused by a gap. At one end of the cover 80 are alternating lugs 84 and recesses 86 and at the other end alternating lugs 86 shaped to engage in the recesses 86' and recesses 84' shaped to receive the lugs 84. The end edges 88 of the lugs 84 and 86 are convex and the inner edges 90 of the recesses 84 and 86' are concave. A transition from convex to concave occurs about midway between ends 88 and inner edges 90. A fibreboard sheet 40 or 40 may be included in the cover 80.
The foregoing anvil 70 substantially eliminates binding without the use of the sheet 40 or 40, since the rib 82 bottoms in the groove 78. However, the addition of 40 and 40' will offset the natural tendency of the cover to raise after a number of cuts have been made. In order to insure this nonbinding result, the cover 80 may be a little loose on the base member 72. The interlocking lugs 84, 86 and recesses 84', 86' provide a firm securing means for the cover 80.
Hence, it is palpable that there have been provided novel improved reinforced covers for rotary die-cutting anvils which fulfill the objects and advantages sought therefor.
it is to be understood that the foregoing description and the accompanying drawings have been given by way of illustration and example. It is also to be understood that changes in form of the elements, rearrangement of parts, and substitution of equivalent elements, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art, are contemplated as within the scope ofthe present invention which is limited only by the claims which follow.
