ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for unwinding, measuring and cutting a predetermined length of pliable material, such as carpet, from a supply roll and for rewinding the unwound length into a roll, having unwind (first) means for rotatably supporting the supply roll and unwinding and advancing said material to a support (second) means which receives and supports said advanced unwound material during measuring and cutting of the predetermined length therefrom. The support (second) means includes cutting means and coacting holddown means for preventing relative movement of said material during cutting of said predetermined length, the cutting means being mounted for pivotal movement about an upright axis relative to said unwind (first) means so as to permit squaring or alignment thereof with the transverse axis of said unwound length of material; rewind (third) means receives the severed length of material from support (second) means and has means for rotatably supporting said severed length during rewinding thereof into a roll, the rotatable supporting means of rewind (third) means being mounted for pivotal movement about an upright axis relative to said severed material so as to permit the maintenance of the transverse ends of said severed length of material vertically aligned during the rewinding thereof. Unwind (first) means includes means for ejecting the supply roll therefrom after the unwinding and cutting of the desired yardage therefrom, and the rotatable supporting means of rewind (third) means has an outer portion mounted for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis so as to permit arcuate movement of the outer portion of said rotatable means between an upper roll supporting position and a lower roll dumping position.
