A bulk roll cutting apparatus with a safety linkage is used to prevent inadvertent gravitational falls of a blade. The apparatus has a frame holding the blade, the blade is movable between a cutting position and a retracted position. In the cutting position, the blade is positioned proximate to an arbor. At least one link arm is movably connected to the frame. An actuator connects between the at least one link arm and the blade. An adjustment device connects between the at least one link arm and the frame. The adjustment device controls a cutting depth of the blade relative to the arbor. A safety linkage connects between the at least one link arm and the frame, and the safety linkage prevents an inadvertent gravitational fall of the blade.

A hand-held cutting device configured to safely, easily, and reliably remove the plastic tip of the plastic packaging of a Freeze Pop is disclosed. The device includes a housing with a slot into which the tip of the unopened Freeze Pop is inserted. Inside the slot is an internal cutting mechanism which produces a curved cut to remove the tip of the Freeze Pop. The tip then falls into a collection chamber which may be opened for easy disposal of plastic scraps. The entire device is storable on a magnetic surface via a removable magnetic component.

Knife arrangement for use in for example a slicer apparatus for slicing meat, and in particular fish meat, wherein the knife arrangement comprises two reciprocating knives 40, 40′, each knife 40, 40′ has a blade 54 with a sharp edge 55 and an opposite edge 56, and blade material between said edges, where adjacent a first end 57 of each knife 40, 40′ an engagement member 58 is arranged, which engagement member 58 protrudes perpendicular to the plane of the blade 40, 40′.

A tool unit (II) includes an ability to change the width (B) of a punching gap between a first tool (12) and a second tool (13). A plurality of second tools (13) jointly form a die tool with a circumferential die cutting edge in which the first tool (12) can engage with a cutting edge (22). Between the cutting edge (22) of the first tool and the respective cutting edge (21) of a second tool (12) a punching gap (23) is formed with a width (B) measured between the cutting edges (21, 22) across the working direction (A). Via lamping means (33), the deformation force acting on a second tool (13) can act transversely to the working direction (A), whereby the position of the affected cutting edge (21) and, with it, the width (B) of the punching gap (23), can be changed and set.

This invention provides web-cutting mechanism that can be mounted in line at an appropriate location between the web-handling peripheral (printer) and a web roll. The cutting mechanism operates before the available storage in the winder festoon has been exhausted, and decouples the roll's energy from the web. The cutting mechanism can employ a blade that is drawn through the web solely by the movement of the web itself. The blade is mounted at a (e.g.) 45-degree angle to web travel, causing it to be pulled through the web. A negator spring assembly and associated cable drives the blade into the side edge of the web when a slide-mounted blade shuttle assembly is released by a latching pawl of a solenoid assembly. The solenoid is triggered by a signal indicating an emergency stop condition, such as an upstream jam.

A machine for forming packing templates includes a infeed mechanism that can feed multiple feeds of sheet material into the machine without repositioning the infeed mechanism or forming creases or bends in the sheet material. The machine also includes a separation and cutting systems with one or more cutting tables and biased knives that cut the sheet material packaging templates. The machine also includes creasing roller(s) that forms creases in the sheet material. The machine also includes a system for reducing or eliminating the impact of irregularities in the sheet material.

A draw stud connector, for use on a punch driver, includes a draw stud having a first end. The draw stud connector also includes a body defining an axis therethrough, the body forming a cavity having an open end, and a wedge at least partially positioned within the cavity and moveable with respect to the body both axially and radially. The wedge allows the first end of the draw stud to move axially into the cavity but does not permit axial removal of the first end of the draw stud from the cavity.

A pipe cutting device includes: a body; a pipe fixing part disposed adjacent to a hollow hole of the body and capable of fixing a pipe; a rotating plate coupled to the body so as to be rotatable about a center axis of the hollow hole and connected to a first driving part to be rotationally controlled; a cam coupled to the rotating plate so as to be rotatable about a rotation shaft at a point spaced apart from the center axis; and a cutter part coupled to the rotating plate to rotate together with the rotating plate and to come into contact with the cam such that, according to rotation of the cam, a cutting tip moves forwards and backwards the center axis.
