A post-processing apparatus includes a transport path having a first path member and a second path member, a punching member disposed on the transport path to perform punching on the medium. The transport path includes a first transport path disposed downstream of the punching member in a transport direction and a second transport path continuously extending downstream of the first transport path in the transport path, the second transport path having a curved shape to hold the medium in a curved state, the first path member in the second transport path forms an outer side of the curved shape and is disposed at a position further separated from the first surface than the first path member in the first transport path, and an upstream end in the transport direction of the medium in the curved state is moved from the first transport path to the second transport path.

PRINTER WASTE DIVERTERS

A mechanism is described herein to drive slitter and cutter waste in a direction that allows for a more advantageous use of the waste collection bin's volume. The waste drive mechanism allows for at least one armature that drives the waste in a desired direction. The armature is made from a material that is flexible, with a curved shape to allow a pre-loaded force against a contact surface of the waste collection bin. The pre-loaded flexible armature against a contact surface of the collection bin provides sufficient force to drive the waste it in a desired direction, allowing for a more consistent use of the waste collection bin spatial volume.

SMART DIE OUTPUT LANE ASSEMBLY

A die output lane assembly for receiving a blank through an opening of a die-cutter machine includes a frame, a support structure, and a memory device. The support structure is attached to the frame to form a lane and is configured to receive the blank from the opening of the die-cutter machine and temporarily store the blank in the lane. The memory device is configured to store data associated with the die output lane assembly thereon. The data includes at least one of a dimension of the die output lane assembly, a dimension of a cutting die of the die-cutter machine, a dimension of the blank, a pick position for removing the blank, a retraction path for removing the blank, a speed of part handling, or placement position data for storing the blank.

DEVICE FOR CUTTING, SEPARATION, AND DISCHARGE OF SYRINGE

A device for cutting, separation, and discharge of a syringe according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a barrel unit, a main body including a driving unit configured to rotate the barrel unit, and a cutting body configured to cut a needle portion of a syringe during rotation of the barrel unit, wherein transfer of the syringe inserted into the barrel unit, cutting of the needle portion, discharge of the needle portion, and discharge of a syringe main body are performed by only one rotation of the barrel unit.

Manual food processor with removable cartridges

The manual food processor includes a first shelf configured to receive a blade cartridge. The first shelf includes a first slider configured to selectively retain the blade cartridge at the first shelf. The manual food processor also includes a pair of guide rails extending from the first shelf and a second shelf slidable along the pair of guide rails. The second shelf is configured to receive a pusher block cartridge and includes a second slider configured to selectively retain the pusher block cartridge at the second shelf. The manual food processor also includes a handle mechanism operable to cause the second shelf to slide along the guide rails between an open position and a closed position. The first shelf is spaced apart from the second shelf in the open position, and the pusher block cartridge interfaces with the blade cartridge in the closed position.

KITCHEN APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SPIRALIZING A FOODSTUFF
20210267417 · 2021-09-02 ·

Provided is a kitchen apparatus (100) having a spiralizing mode for slicing a foodstuff into a strip or strips, and a further mode which is an alternative to the spiralizing mode. The kitchen apparatus comprises a hand held motorized drive system (102) and a foodstuff engagement tool (104). The foodstuff engagement tool engages with both the drive system and the foodstuff. The foodstuff is thus rotated by the drive system in the spiralizing 5 mode. The drive system is adapted to release the foodstuff engagement tool to enable adoption of the further mode. The kitchen apparatus comprises a cutter (106) adapted to slice the foodstuff into the strip(s) when the rotating foodstuff is advanced onto the cutter. The kitchen apparatus further includes a container (108) having an opening (110). The cutter is mounted on the container in the spiralizing mode such that the container receives the strip(s) via the 10 opening. Further provided is a method for spiralizing a foodstuff.
