A cutting pen includes a cutting pen main body including a blade projecting from one end, a medium pressing member inserted into the cutting pen main body to be movable in a state in which a cap portion projects from the one end of the cutting pen main body, and a knock mechanism configured to change the position of the medium pressing member with respect to the cutting pen main body stepwise by causing the medium pressing member to repetitively reciprocally move with respect to the cutting pen main body.

This disclosure relates to a device for producing adhesive labels, in particular in a self-service area, for example of a drug store. The device comprises a printer for printing a printing pattern based on user inputs onto an adhesive film, a cutting apparatus for cutting the adhesive film along a specified cutting pattern which can be selected by a user, and a transferring apparatus for automatically transferring the printed adhesive film from the printer to the cutting apparatus, wherein the transferring apparatus comprises a first moving unit for automatically moving the printed adhesive film in a forward direction from the printer to the cutting apparatus. A control apparatus controls the automatic transfer of the printed adhesive film from the printer to the cutting apparatus.

A method for placing pieces intended to be cut automatically from a fabric having a pattern that repeats at a predetermined pitch, called pattern pitch, involves the steps of determining a list of pieces to be placed on the fabric, for at least one piece of the placement, calculating a contour to be placed around the piece, the contour having a variable margin in order to avoid an overlap between adjacent pieces, the margin being a function of a predefined rate of variation of the fabric and of at least one predetermined constraint of placement of the piece on the fabric, and developing a theoretical placement of the pieces on the fabric taking into account the contour to be placed of each piece.

A sheet processing machine has at least one shaping device and at least one sheet delivery unit, arranged downstream of the at least one shaping device along a transport path provided for a transport of sheets. The at least one shaping device has at least one shaping point which is formed by at least one forme cylinder, on one hand, and at least one impression cylinder, on the other hand. At least one separation device, for removing scrap pieces from sheets, is arranged downstream of the at least one shaping point along the transport path provided for the transport of sheets. The at least one separation device has at least one separation transport device. At least one transport device, configured as a selective transport device, is arranged following the at least one separation transport device along the transport path provided for the transport of sheets. The transport device is configured as at least one upper suction transport device for a hanging transport of sheets.

A tool for pressing a foamed material onto a substrate, a manufacturing apparatus thereof, and a method for manufacturing a laminated structure of a heat-retaining container are disclosed. The tool comprises a body, a blade portion extending in a lengthwise direction from the body, and a press portion extending in the lengthwise direction from the body and configured for pressing the foamed material onto the substrate. The tool may be used to press a foamed material sheet onto a paper substrate and form a tear line on the foamed material sheet at the same time to simplify the manufacturing process of the laminated structure of a heat-retaining container.

A magnetic cutting and stamping pad (33), comprising a magnetic layer (331), and the magnetic layer (331) is connected to a pad layer (332) at a side facing a pattern medium (4); the magnetic field generated by the magnetic layer (331) penetrates the pad layer (332) and the pattern medium (4), attracts a cutting blade (5); during cutting and stamping, the cutting blade (5) completely penetrates the pattern medium (4) and enters above the pad layer (332), thereby ensuring that during the cutting and stamping the cutting blade (5) completely cuts out the pattern desired. The magnetic cutting and stamping pad (33) can position the relative locations of the cutting blade (5) and the pattern medium (4). The present invention also relates to a pattern cutting and stamping machine comprising the magnetic cutting and stamping pad (33), and a cutting and stamping method.

A system 10 may be used to carry out methods for portioning substantially uniform food products 12 into a series of intentionally created unique variations of one or more predetermined reference shapes to resemble naturally occurring food product shapes. The method includes scanning the uniform food product and generating digital data based on the results of the scanning. This data is used to generate a series of unique variations of one or more predetermined reference shapes based on one or more specified physical parameters for the unique variation shapes. Cutting paths are generated for cutting the substantially uniform food product 12 into the digitally generated unique variation shapes 44. A control system 30 controls the operation of a cutting apparatus 22 cut the substantially uniform food product 12 along the generated cutting paths thereby portioning the substantially uniform food product into unique variations of naturally occurring food product shapes.

A method for manufacturing a plurality of pharmaceutical agent delivery patch devices includes: providing a supply web including an active layer containing a pharmaceutically active agent; and cutting the supply web to form cut lines through the active layer. The cut lines define in the active layer: a first active layer patch having a first peripheral edge formed by the cutting step; and a second active layer patch having a second peripheral edge formed by the cutting step. The first and second peripheral edges each include a corner portion. At least a first segment of the first peripheral edge and an opposing second segment of the second peripheral edge are formed by a shared one of the cut lines.

A method is provided for producing discrete three-dimensional cellulose products from an air-formed cellulose blank structure in a rotary forming mould system. The method includes providing an air-formed cellulose blank structure, wherein the cellulose blank structure is air-formed from cellulose fibres; transporting the air-formed cellulose blank structure to a the rotary forming mould system; feeding the air-formed cellulose blank structure to a position between a first mould part and a second mould part, and heating the air-formed cellulose blank structure; forming the three-dimensional cellulose products from the air-formed cellulose blank structure in the rotary forming mould system, by pressing the heated air-formed cellulose blank structure with a forming pressure.
