ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for automatically dampening a strip moving longitudinally in its own plane as a result of a variable pulling force applied to the strip comprising: a strip deflector for engaging a surface of the moving strip and deflecting the strip; a guide for guiding the deflector in a path extending at an angle to the plane of the moving strip; a dampening device for biasing the deflector in a first direction to engage and push against the moving strip and form permitting movement of the deflector in an opposite direction when the strip pushes against the deflector as a result of rapid and violent increase in the pulling force on the strip, the dampening device including a pneumatic cylinder having a piston forming first and second chambers within the cylinder, a piston rod connected to the piston and extending through one end of the cylinder, the piston rod being connected to the deflector so as to bias the latter in said first direction and so that movement of the deflector in said opposite direction by the moving strip moves said rod and piston in a manner to decrease the volume of said first chamber, said dampening device further including a valve responsive to a decreased volume of said first chamber for maintaining a fixed pressure in each of said cylinder chambers with the pressure in said second chamber being less than the pressure in said first chamber whereby said piston exerts a constant biasing force which is transmitted by said rod and deflector to the strip.
