Techniques are described for controlling widths of nanofiber sheets drawn from a nanofiber forest. Nanofiber sheet width can be controlled by dividing or sectioning the nanofiber sheet in its as-drawn state into sub-sheets as the sheet is being drawn. A width of a sub-sheet can be controlled or selected so as to contain regions of uniform nanofiber density within a sub-sheet (thereby improving nanofiber yarn consistency) or to isolate an inhomogeneity (whether a discontinuity is the sheet (e.g., a tear) or a variation in density) within a sub-sheet. Techniques for dividing a nanofiber sheet into sub-sheets includes mechanical, corona, and electrical arc techniques.

The invention discloses a film-cutting device of an environmental coating machine, belonging to the technical field of mechanical engineering, which solves the existing problem that the protective film clamped by the conveyor belts are difficult to be cut. The film-cutting device of an environmental coating machine comprises frame (1), several pairs of upper conveyor belts (12) and lower conveyor belts (13), coating areas (15), wherein the film-cutting device comprises a rotation pipe (2), two transmission rods (3), film cutters (32), transverse edges (321), longitudinal edges (331), and a drive member and a spreading element arranged on the frame (1); this film-cutting device of an environmental coating machine is able to but the protective film clamped by the conveyor belts, which can improve an efficiency, reduce the usage amount of the protective film and be more environmental.

A printing device includes a first blade configured to move between an advanced position and a retracted position, a second blade for cutting recording paper together with the first blade, and a driving mechanism including a gear that drives the first blade, a protruding member that protrudes from a first surface of the gear, a covering member that covers at least a part of the protruding member and includes a passage route of the protruding member, and an optical sensor provided on the covering member and having a light emitting portion for emitting light in a direction intersecting the protruding member and a light receiving portion for receiving light, in which a width of the passage route is larger than a width of the protruding member, and is equal to or smaller than a distance between the light emitting portion and the light receiving portion.

A cutter unit includes a first frame, a fixed blade, a movable blade, a movable blade drive mechanism and a pressure mechanism. The fixed blade has a first cutting edge portion. One end portion of the movable blade has one end configured to cut a cut item in cooperation with the first cutting edge portion. The second cutting edge portion and the first cutting edge portion contacting with each other at a first point and a second point. Another end portion of the movable blade has a contacting portion in contact with the first frame at a third point. The first point, the second point and the third point define an imaginary triangle. The pressure member presses the movable blade at a pressure contact position so that the movable blade presses against the fixed blade. The pressure contact position is positioned substantially within the imaginary triangle.

The invention relates to a Device (10) for separating a tubular web (11) in two flat webs (12, 13) with an adjustable blade (20) for cutting the tubular web (11) and with a pulling device (30) which impinges the blade (20) with a tensile force (K) on a folding edge (14) of the tubular web (11) wherein the pulling device (30) is configured in a way that the tensile force (K) is adjustable depending on the tubular properties of the tubular web (11) and that the tensile force (K) can be mainly kept constant with constant tubular properties independent from the tubular web (11).

Provided is a tape printing apparatus including a recessed portion having an open first side, a mounting portion lid that opens and closes the recessed portion, a support target portion that extends from a bottom surface of the recessed portion to the first side, and a cantilever support portion that is provided on a second side of the support target portion opposite to the first side and supports the support target portion in a cantilever manner. The mounting portion lid is provided with a lid-side support portion that supports an end on the first side of the support target portion when the mounting portion lid is closed.
