A precision positioning device of a unit-type die cutting & hot stamping machine includes a positioning element on an input end of a first imprinting element and a positioning element on an output end of each imprinting element. Two neighboring positioning elements accomplish the positioning between the two positioning elements together. Each positioning element is constituted by a positioning assembly installed symmetrically on each end of the imprinting element. The positioning assembly includes a positioning rod which can rotate against an installation shaft. Each positioning rod includes a positioning block which is provided with a reference surface. A rear side of the gripper is provided with a reference matching surface. By the positioning elements, the accuracy in the art of die cutting & hot stamping can be assured when the machine is performing a multiple-working-position procedure.

A tie rod forming apparatus includes a frame for supporting a material holding unit that releasably holds tie rod stock material, and a feed bed in structural communication with the material holding unit. The feed bed selectively accepts and manipulates the tie rod stock material. A cutting assembly is provided in operative communication with the feed bed, and an operator interface module is in communication with the material holding unit and the cutting assembly. The material holding unit selectively dispenses the tie rod stock material to the feed bed, and the cutting assembly manipulates a portion of the dispensed tie rod stock material, in dependence upon parameters communicated by the operator interface module.

The swivel knife holder assembly includes a shoulder screw defining an axis, and having a proximal threaded end and a distal head, and mounted on the shoulder screw is a bobbin assembly. The swivel knife holder assembly also includes a shell defining an interior, and having a distal opening and a proximal opening. A core is secured in the interior and is coupled to a knife for cutting fabric material. The proximal opening of the shell is defined by a flange and houses the shoulder screw therein. Threadably coupled to the proximal threaded end of the shoulder screw is a stem. The stem secures the bobbin assembly within the shell and also includes a mounting surface for engaging a reciprocating drive mechanism.

The present invention relates to a device which is for peeling fruits and root vegetables and has the effect of easily removing the entire peel of a fruit or root vegetable at once so that none of the peel remains, and cutting the fruit or root vegetable into multiple pieces.

Methods and apparatus to align applique cutters are disclosed. A disclosed example alignment rail is for use with cutting an applique relative to a surface of a vehicle. The example alignment rail includes a base to contact the surface. The example alignment rail also includes a body including a cross-sectional profile extending along a longitudinal axis of the alignment rail. The example alignment rail also includes a groove of the cross-sectional profile extending along the longitudinal axis, where the groove is to align movement of a cutting tool to cut the applique.

A power tool includes a spindle, a motor, an inner housing and an outer housing elastically connected to the inner housing. The inner housing is formed by a first inner housing portion formed of metal connected to a second inner housing portion formed of synthetic polymer. The first inner housing portion includes a housing part disposed in a front part of the outer housing, and a first extending part extending rearward from the housing part and disposed in a grip part of the outer housing. The second inner housing portion includes a second extending part that has a tubular shape and at least partially surrounds the first extending part, and a rear end part connected to the second extending part and disposed in a rear part of the outer housing. The first extending part extends rearward of a center of the second extending part in the front-rear direction.

Discussed is an electrode lead cutting apparatus for battery cells, the electrode lead cutting apparatus including a cell fixing unit configured to fix a battery cell, an electrode lead fixing unit configured to supply air to an electrode lead of the battery cell in order to fix a point of the electrode lead to be cut, and an electrode lead cutting unit configured to cut the point of the electrode lead to be cut.

A spatula edge trimming apparatus for re-edging a spatula includes a base housing with the front side having a spatula receptacle slot extending through to the cavity. The bottom side has a drop aperture extending through to the cavity. The spatula receptacle slot is configured to receive a spatula. A cutter is coupled to the base housing within the cavity and is configured to cut an edge of the spatula. A drive is coupled to the top side of the base housing and is in operational communication with the cutter. A plurality of controls is coupled to the base housing and is in operational communication with the drive. A power source is coupled to the housing. The power source is in operational communication with, and provides power to, each of the drive and the plurality of controls.

A food slicing device is disclosed. The food slicing device comprises a body configured to contain at least one food item and a lid having a protecting member. The body has a plurality of recesses defined within the body that are configured to receive a cutting blade of a knife or the like. The lid is hingedly attached to the body and is configured to move between a first position where the lid at least partially covers a top opening of the body, and a second position wherein the lid does not cover the top opening of the body.
