An automatic device for emptying bags of frozen blood product includes a product removal device, a product reception hopper, a transporter for transporting the bag from a reception area to the product removal device, and at least one cutter located in the path of the bag between the reception area and the product removal device. The at least one cutter is housed in a support configured to oscillate for absorbing energy of impacts of the bag against the cutter and to return the cutter to its initial position.

A clamshell die press includes a fixed platen, a moving platen installed thereon a cutting blade, and a pad mounted on top of a working surface of the fixed platen, wherein the pad comprises a padding block, wherein the padding block comprises a padding layer composed of a material selected to match a tooth profile of the cutting blade.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to an apparatus. In some aspects, the apparatus includes a first arm and a second arm pivotally coupled to the first arm at a hinge. The apparatus further includes a first blade coupled to the first arm and a second blade coupled to the second arm. The first arm and second arm are spaced apart to provide a cavity for receiving sheet material to be cut by the first and second blades. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

A sheet cutting and bending apparatus for cutting a wavy sheet and forming trapezoidal notches required for installation includes a base, two cutters at an end of the base, and a force applying mechanism for driving the two cutters. A knife of the cutters has no handle but just has a curved force receiving edge at the rear edge. The force applying mechanism has two rocker aims driven by a rocker rod and a force applying rod bridging between the two rocker arms for abutting a force receiving edge of the knife to produce a shear force and pushing the knife efficiently to cut two incisions at an edge of the sheet. In addition, a bending mechanism is linked with the force applying mechanism and provided for flipping a plate between the two incisions inwardly to form trapezoidal notches required for installation at the edge of the sheet.

A cutting board assembly for cutting large food items includes a cutting board which has dimensions sufficient to accommodate a watermelon. The cutting board has a blade slot extending along a full length of the cutting board. A clamp is coupled to the cutting board for engaging a support panel when the clamp is tightened for securing the cutting board to the support panel. A blade is pivotally coupled to the cutting board for cutting a food item positioned on the cutting board. A handle is attached to the blade thereby facilitating the handle to be gripped for moving the blade upwardly and downwardly.
