A printer configured to cut recording paper with a fixed blade and a movable blade has a blade unit including the movable blade and a slider to which the movable blade is attachable, and the slider includes: a contact part configured to contact the movable blade; a flexible part formed thinner than the contact part; and a first protrusion provided on the flexible part and configured to engage with a first opening provided in the movable blade.

The invention relates to tube perforating machine for perforating a hollow tube. The powered machine includes a mechanical timing system comprising a Geneva mechanism so that perforations are punched when the tube is held stationary and perforations cannot be punched when the tube is rotating or moving longitudinally within the machine.

An electronic cutting machine includes at least one housing to which a drive roller is coupled for moving a sheet to be cut in a first direction and a cutter assembly coupled to the housing and moveable in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction.

Apparatuses and methods for decoupling an element that is bonded to a surface by an adhesive are provided. In one example, the apparatus includes a body, a first spool that is rotationally coupled to the body, and a cable having a first cable end portion that is coupled to the first spool, a second cable end portion that is coupled to the body, and a cable intermediate portion that is disposed between the first cable end portion and the second cable end portion. The apparatus is configured to be positioned adjacent to at least one of the element and the surface with the cable intermediate portion disposed adjacent to the adhesive such that when the first spool is rotated, the cable wraps about the first spool, thereby pulling the cable intermediate portion through the adhesive.

An automated container cutting apparatus configured to cut various sized rectilinear containers without unnecessary costs or lack of transportability. The automated container cutting apparatus includes a right angle transfer conveyor that positions a container in a first cutting position. The apparatus also includes a cutting mechanism configured to cut the container on two adjacent edges while in the first cutting position. The cutting mechanism further includes two cutting elements supported at right angles to one another for horizontally cutting a container on two adjacent edges.

A glazing panel removal device includes a winder unit having first and second winder spools for winding a cutting filament and a drive, for driving the winder spools. The drive means includes a single or common drive input for driving both the first and second winder spools. The drive maybe a rotary input drive, and driving the rotary input in a first rotary direction may cause winding of the filament onto the first winder spool and driving the rotary input in the opposite direction causes winding of the filament onto the second winder spool.

A cutting tool includes a pipe, a pressing foot assembly, a spring, and a blade assembly. The pressing foot assembly is slidably sheathed on an end of the pipe. The spring is sheathed on the pipe. An end of the spring abuts against the pipe, and the other end of the spring abuts against the pressing foot assembly. The blade assembly passes through the pipe and the pressing foot assembly in a slidable manner. When the cutting tool moves along a first direction, the pressing foot assembly keeps pressing against an object in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction, such that the blade assembly protrudes from the pressing foot assembly and cuts the object along the first direction.
