Personal cutting devices in the form of hand held punches for producing jewelry display cards include two aligned templates having identical patterns of apertures and being securely mounted in a frame such that a space between the templates accommodates a piece of cardstock. There is a spring biased movable member having elongate cutting elements designed to pass through the apertures in both templates, and an activation lever on which indicia is printed to show the aperture patterns produced by the punches. A housing protects the mechanism. Each punch is specifically designed to produce a display card that can hold and display a single article of jewelry such as a pair of earrings, a necklace or a brooch. The punches vary in size according to the template patterns. The punches enable the jewelry designer to use any card stock, including a business card, to display an article of jewelry.

This compact binding device is such that binding operations can be carried out when the main body of the device is held. The binding device (1A) is provided with a cassette storage unit (60A) in which a cassette (8) can be detachably attached, said cassette housing an elongate tape (5) which has a piece (2) adhered thereto and is wound into a roll. The cassette housing unit (60A) is provided at the bottom of the device main body (110A), which comprises a base unit (11A) and a handle unit (12), and the cassette (8) does not protrude rearwards from the handle unit (12) and the base unit (11A).

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a molded article and a manufacturing method for a molded article by which it is possible to mitigate deformation of an opening. The present invention provides a molded article comprising a cylindrical base and an opening provided in the base, wherein a rib is provided adjacent to the opening. The present invention provides a manufacturing method for a molded article that includes a molded body formation step for forming a molded body having a cylindrical portion provided at one end thereof with an occlusion by molding a melted resin, and a cut-off step for cutting off the occlusion by cutting the cylindrical portion, wherein in the cut-off step, the cutting is performed in a state where a side wall of the cylindrical portion is warped in-plane by an external force.

oval polyethylene pipes (3), which consists of: a primary constriction mechanism (2), consisting of two symmetrical rotating bars (21), with lower bypass sections (22) that may be opened or closed in order to apply pressure to the pipe (3); and a secondary mechanism (4) that perforates the pipe (3) and inserts the specific bypass accessory (5) through a central bar (41) that can be moved vertically and longitudinally, incorporating a tubular connection piece (43) where a punch (8) and bypass accessory (5) are inserted.

Various approaches for forming holes onto a sheet-metal assembly are described. In one implementation, a sheet-metal assembly is received through a conveyor system within a manufacturing cell. Once received, the type of sheet-metal assembly is identified based on associated information. Corresponding to the identified sheet-metal assembly, a set of position coordinates corresponding to one or more points on the sheet-metal assembly are obtained. Subsequently, a work-performing apparatus may be used for forming holes onto the sheet-metal assembly, at one or more points on the sheet-metal assembly.

Cards may be manufactured in a lamination process, such that interior portions of the cards may be visible. Punch alignment queues within the card may be scanned by a punch machine and rendered onto a display of the punch machine. The punch alignment queues may be aligned with targets also rendered onto the display so that the card may be properly aligned within a punch machine to prepare the card for a trimming process. A Venturi system may temporarily adhere the card to a punch of the punch machine while the punch is engaged with a die to trim the card. The cutting surface of the die may be offset with respect to a surface of the punch, so that the card may be sequentially trimmed along a perimeter of the card.

A barbed microcatheter includes a hollow tube having an elongated lumen, outwardly projecting barbs, fluid egress openings, a tissue anchor secured to a proximal end of the hollow tube, and a needle secured to the distal end of the hollow tube. The needle is used to form a first tissue opening at the first end of the wound. The hollow tube is pulled through the first tissue opening until the tissue anchor abuts against tissue at the first end of the wound. The needle is used to form a second tissue opening at the second end of the wound. The hollow tube is pulled through the second tissue opening so that barbs engage wound tissue. After cutting away the needle, a therapeutic fluid is introduced into the elongated lumen and passes through the fluid egress openings for infusing the wound with the therapeutic fluid.
