A slit-cutting device includes a first holder, a second holder, a first contactable member a second contactable member, and a protrusion member. The first holder includes a medium faceable area and a first contactable member. The second holder holds a blade and includes a second contactable member. A cutting edge of the blade may cut a medium between the first holder and the blade. The first contactable member and the second contactable member contact each other and defined a closest approach distance between the cutting edge and the first holder. The closest approach distance is longer than zero and below a thickness of the medium. The protrusion member protrudes more than the closest approach distance from a part of the medium faceable area. The cutting edge may make a cut line includes at least a part of a slit-cut and a full-cut in a cutting edge direction in the medium.

A cutting device includes: a cutter blade configured to perform one of a half-cutting operation and a full-cutting operation with respect to a cut target; a cutter holder holding the cutter blade; a cutter cradle movable between a half-cutting position and a full-cutting position; and a cutter lever and a cutter cradle lever those operated by a user. When only the cutter lever is operated by the user, the cutter blade is moved so that the cutter blade and the cutter cradle at the half-cutting position perform the half-cutting operation with respect to the cut target. When both the cutter lever and the cutter cradle lever are operated by the user, the cutter cradle is moved to the full-cutting position and the cutter blade is moved so that the cutter blade and the cutter cradle at the full-cutting position perform the full-cutting operation with respect to the cut target.

A cutting device, including a frame, a cutting blade, which is fastened to the frame for pivoting about a first pivot axis, and a reduction transmission, which converts each forward pivoting movement of a plurality of successively performed forward pivoting movements and backward pivoting movements of a drive arm into a cutting pivoting movement of the cutting blade. A cutting-blade back-pivoting apparatus is provided, by which the cutting blade can be pivoted back from a pivoting end position to an initial position. The back-pivoting apparatus has, in particular, a tension element, which acts on the cutting blade in such a way that a clearance is formed.

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 packing strap length cutting device includes a main body and a control device. The main body has a first frame and a second frame. A strap pulling unit, a calculation unit and a sensing unit are electrically connected to the control device. The strap pulling unit is connected to a strap connecting unit. Thereby, a packing strap can be automatically pulled out a predetermined length through the strap pulling unit, and then the strap cutting unit is driven by a driving member of the strap pulling unit to cut the packing strap in the predetermined length, assisting a user in completing the cutting operation quickly.

A system and method for stabilizing a substrate during printing of images and subsequent cutting of the printing images with the system. The system comprises a printer assembly and a cutting assembly for printing images on a print media and then cutting the images from the print media. The printer assembly and cutting assembly are positioned in the system such that the media is printed and cut before advancing further through the system. The system has a web feeding system having a plurality of pairs of levers for providing different amounts of pinch force to the web during the printing and cutting processes so as to retain the media in a substantially flat and stationary position for printing as well as cutting.

A cutting device includes a support base, a cutting blade, and a holding member. The cutting blade has first and second holes and a blade edge. The blade edge has a first convex portion and a second convex portion, provided at a position corresponding to the first and second holes, respectively. In a case where the cutting blade is arranged at a cutting position, a maximum value of a distance between the blade edge and the support base within a range between the first and second holes in a longitudinal direction of the cutting blade is smaller than a maximum value of a distance between the blade edge and the support base. The cutting blade is fixed to the holding member by a first hole coupling member, and the holding member holds the cutting blade so as to be movable to the cutting position and a spaced position.

In a cutting device, a cutting blade is reciprocally movable within a movable range including a first retracted position away from a target to be cut and a cut complete position at which cutting of the target is to be completed. A memory is configured to store cutting data indicating the first retracted position. A controller is configured to perform controlling, in response to determining that the cutting blade has stopped at an intervening position between a cut start position at which cutting of the target is started and the cut complete position, a drive portion to move the cutting blade from the intervening position to a second retracted position positioned within the movable range and away from the target. The controller is configured to further perform updating the cutting data stored in the memory so as to indicate the second retracted position in place of the first retracted position.

A cutting device, including a frame, a cutting blade, which is fastened to the frame for pivoting about a first pivot axis, and a reduction transmission, which converts each forward pivoting movement of a plurality of successively performed forward pivoting movements and backward pivoting movements of a drive arm into a cutting pivoting movement of the cutting blade. A cutting-blade back-pivoting apparatus is provided, by which the cutting blade can be pivoted back from a pivoting end position to an initial position. The back-pivoting apparatus has, in particular, a tension element, which acts on the cutting blade in such a way that a clearance is formed.

A half cutter includes a cutting blade having a blade and a holder to which the blade is fixed, a blade receiving member having a blade receiving surface from and with which the blade is separated and comes into contact, and a spacer having at least one of a holder spacer arranged at the holder which is made of a material that is different from a material of the holder, is provided in the holder to protrude toward the blade receiving surface further than the blade, and generates a gap between the blade and the blade receiving surface and a blade receiving spacer arranged at the blade receiving surface which is made of a material different from a material of the blade receiving member, is provided to protrude from the blade receiving surface, and generates a gap between the blade and the blade receiving surface.
