A printing device includes: a second blade; a first blade portion including a first blade and configured to cut print paper by moving from a standby position at which the first blade is away from the second blade, via an overlap start position at which the first blade starts overlapping the second blade on a side of the second blade in a first direction, to a cutting position; a first blade guide located in the first direction relative to the second blade and configured to guide movement of the first blade with the first blade between the first blade guide and the second blade when the first blade portion moves from the overlap start position to the cutting position; and a warping prevention portion configured to press the first blade in a second direction opposite to the first direction when the first blade portion moves from the overlap start position to the cutting position, to prevent the first blade from warping into a convex shape in the first direction or reduce such warping.

A cutting tool for cutting netting used for encasing meat products comprises a blade and a guard. A control circuit is electrically connected to the blade, and configured to maintain the temperature of the blade at a cutting temperature in the range of 300° C. to 500° C. The guard defines an interior cavity surrounding the blade and further comprises a slot exposing a portion of the blade. The guarding is further shaped to define a funnel at a distal end of the cutting tool leading to the slot such that in use the funnel guides a netting to be cut towards the blade. The cutting tool may be provided as a hand tool or in a bench mounted form.

A knife is arranged for being fitted in a cutting apparatus for obtaining incision lines and notches on a cap made of plastics intended for closing a container and is suitable for making notches and incisions on a side wall of the cap when the cap, by rotating around its own rotation axis, is moved along a path for interacting with the knife in an advancement direction; the knife includes an arrangement of cutting edges that project from a peripheral region of the knife, the arrangement of cutting edges including: an opening formation part that extends parallel to a horizontal plane orthogonal to the rotation axis, the at least one opening formation part being arranged for making at least one circumferential notch on the side wall at a first height on a vertical axis that is substantially parallel to the rotation axis to define a tamper-evident ring and a main body in the cap; at least one connection formation part that occupies a region extending between the first quote and a second height that is greater than the first height on the vertical axis, the connection formation part being arranged for making at least one notch on the side wall to determine at least one connection portion connecting the tamper-evident ring and the main body;
wherein the knife consists of a single piece, the arrangement of cutting edges being obtained in the single piece.

A cap for a container is formed so that the cap has a top plate and a circular sidewall. Two opposite sides of the circular sidewall circularly connect to each other, one periphery of the circular sidewall connecting to one surface of the top plate forming a closed end, and another periphery of the circular sidewall at an opposite side of the closed end forms an opened end. Incisions are in the circular sidewall. The incisions form a ring member located at the opened end of the cap separated from a main body of the cap by a first incision and a second incision between the opened end of the main body and the ring member.

A cutting apparatus and a cutting device are disclosed including a modular insert arranged at least partially in a housing cavity, in which the modular insert includes a cutting element for performing a vertical or oblique cut and an abutting block which is interchangeable and couplable with the cutting element to fix a total dimension of the modular insert, in which an abutting face of the abutting block abuts on a back wall of the housing cavity so that a rear end of the cutting element is spaced away from the back wall. An assembly method is disclosed for assembling the aforesaid device including the steps of providing a plurality of interchangeable abutting blocks and of choosing an abutting block between the plurality of interchangeable abutting blocks on the basis of a desired total dimension of the modular insert.
