An image recording apparatus includes an operation panel, a sheet conveyor, a print head, a cutting device, and a sheet discharge port. The operation panel is disposed at a first-side face of a housing in a particular direction that extends from a first side to a second side of the image recording apparatus. The sheet conveyor is configured to convey a sheet along a conveyance path in a conveyance direction. The print head is disposed downstream of the sheet conveyor in the conveyance direction. The cutting device has a cutter for cutting the sheet. The sheet discharge port is open at the first-side face of the housing. At least a part of the sheet passes through the sheet discharge port when the sheet is discharged from the conveyance path. The cutter positioned below the operation panel is exposed to an outside of the housing through the sheet discharge port.

An image recording apparatus includes a housing, an operation panel, a sheet conveyor, a recording device, and a cutting device. The operation panel is disposed at a first-side face of the housing in a first direction. The first direction is orthogonal to a vertical direction and extends from a first side to a second side of the image recording apparatus. In the first direction, the cutting device is closer to the first side of the image recording apparatus than the recording device is and closer to the second side of the image recording apparatus than the operation panel is. The cutting device includes a cutter, and a cutter carriage to move with the cutter mounted thereon along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and the vertical direction. The operation panel overlaps a movable area of the cutter carriage when viewed in the first direction.

A vegetable knife includes a pulverizing coring pin for pulverizing a core of a vegetable, where the pulverizing coring pin can be a generally cylindrical tube. The pulverizing coring pin can define one or more pulverizing tubes that extend from a first end of the pulverizing coring pin to a second end of the pulverizing coring pin opposite the first end. The vegetable knife also includes at least one vegetable shaping blade that extends radially outwardly from the pulverizing coring pin, where the at least one vegetable shaping blade supports the pulverizing coring pin at a location generally central with respect to the vegetable knife. The vegetable knife may also include an outer flange for coupling the vegetable knife to a rotatable cutting assembly. The vegetable shaping blade can be connected between the outer flange and the pulverizing coring pin for supporting the pulverizing coring pin.

A fixture includes a pipe having a vertical axis that is coaxial with a center of the pipe, a cutting element having a cutting blade, and a jig assembly coupled to the cutting element and arranged to orient the cutting blade at an angular orientation relative to the vertical axis of the pipe. Related methods and components are also provided.

A label cutter including a blade having a curved cutting edge configured and arranged to move towards a platen in order to cut a label material placed between them. The label cutter has a force applicator arranged and configured to apply a force to a portion of the blade in the direction of the platen. The label cutter includes an actuator operatively coupled to the force applicator and operable to cause the force applicator to move. The force applicator is moveable in order to, in use, apply a force to consecutive portions of the blade in the direction of the platen so as to provide a rolling engagement between the blade and the platen. A label issuing device including a label cutter is also provided.

A manual food processor includes a base, a plurality of blades coupled to the base and extending from the base in a vertical direction, a rod coupled to the base and oriented at an acute angle relative to the vertical direction of the blade, and a carriage slidable along the rod from a top end of the rod to a bottom end of the rod. The carriage is configured to support a food item from below the food item and to push the food item from above the food item. The carriage is positioned entirely on a first side of the plurality of blades when at the top end of the rod and is intersected by the plurality of blades at the bottom end of the rod.

A knife attachment device, for slicing a fruit or vegetable into a long strip, includes a body, first and second arms, and first and second bottom plates. The first arm and the first bottom plate are attached to each other on one end and separated and open toward the other end at or around the body such that the first arm and the first bottom plate are elastically open to receive a knife blade therein. When the knife blade is inserted, the cutting edge of the knife blade should face the attached end of the first arm and the first bottom plate. The first and second bottom plates slide on a flat surface such that the cutting edge of the knife blade slices produce and the sliced produce comes out of a space between the knife blade and the flat surface in a long strip.

A cutting device and a method for cutting paper are provided. The cutting device includes a cutting blade and a counter-member. The cutting device is further provided with a first guide and a second guide extending in or parallel to the driving direction for linearly guiding a holder that holds the cutting blade. Each of the guides includes a guide body. The guide bodies of the first guide and the second guide, when released, are arranged to be rotatable relative to the frame about a first adjustment axis and a second adjustment axis, respectively. Each guide body includes an eccentric section that moves eccentrically about the respective adjustment axis and that is arranged to convert the rotational movement of the guides about the respective adjustment axes into a linear movement of the holder in the adjustment direction.

A power tool includes a housing, a spindle, a clamp shaft, a first biasing member, an engagement member, a first holding member, a manually operable member and a push-down member. The first biasing member biases the clamp shaft upward. The first holding member holds the engagement member to be movable between a first position and a second position in the up-down direction relative to the first holding member. The manually operable member moves a first one of the engagement member and the first holding member downward in response to a manual unclamping operation. The engagement member moves from the first position to the second position to be movable in the radial direction in response to the manual unclamping operation. The first one of the engagement member and the first holding member pushes down a tool accessory via the push-down member while the first one is moving downward.
