              Appeal No. 2003-1254                                                                  Page 4                
              Application No. 09/284,793                                                                                  


                     has a surface adapted to abut against the saw blade, and also a second side                          
                     which is remote from said clamp holder and has a wedge-shaped surface;                               
                            a wedge piece having a wedge-shaped surface abutting against said                             
                     wedge-shaped surface of said clamping piece and also having an opposite                              
                     surface;                                                                                             
                            a first spring acting on said wedge piece in a direction essentially                          
                     perpendicular to a displacement direction of said clamping piece so as to move                       
                     said clamping piece into a position of repose so that said first surface of said                     
                     clamping piece presses against the saw blade; and                                                    
                            a second spring acting on said clamping piece so as to press said                             
                     clamping piece against said wedge piece.                                                             


                     Strömberg's invention relates to a device for retaining knife blades for cutting,                    
              perforation or other treatment of a running web, preferably a paper web, whereby the                        
              web runs between a rotatable knife-retaining cylinder and a counter pressure cylinder                       
              knife blade cooperates with a wedge device which is adapted to wedge up the knife                           
              blade in a slot in the knife-retaining cylinder.  Thus, the knife blade can be wedged up                    
              by means of the wedge device by being brought into the slot by means of the counter                         
              pressure cylinder.  The wedge device cooperates with a height-adjustment device which                       
              is adapted to permit setting of the wedge device at such height in the slot that the                        
              wedge device is able to wedge up a knife blade of a certain defined dimension.  The                         
              wedge device comprises two rulers having downwardly inclined wedge surfaces relative                        
              to the slot.  The wedge device preferably comprises at least one spring means which is                      
              provided to affect the rulers in vertical direction relative to each other in order to retain               
              the rulers and the knife blade in the slot until they are wedged up therein.
