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 printing apparatus includes: a conveying unit; a printing unit; a disposing stand provided on a downstream side of the printing unit in a first direction, the disposing stand having a disposing section where a printing medium is disposed; a cutting blade that cuts the printing medium disposed in the disposing section; and a supporting member that supports the cutting blade movably from a non-cutting position, via a partial cut position, to a full cut position. The non-cutting position is a position where a blade edge is separated from the printing medium disposed in the disposing section. The partial cut position is a position where the cutting blade cuts a part of the printing medium in a second direction. The full cut position is a position where a blade edge passes beyond the disposing section to fully cut the printing medium in the second direction.

A manual plate cutting machine, comprises a workbench, a handle and a cutter, a front support and a rear support mounted on the workbench at intervals, wherein one end of the handle is in a gear shape, which is an active sector gear, coupled with the front support; the cutter comprises a cutter holder and a cutter body, the cutter body is mounted below the cutter holder, and one end of the cutter holder is in a gear shape, which is a passive sector gear, engaged with the active sector gear, and the other end of the cutter holder is coupled with the rear support. The present application optimizes the structure of a manual plate cutting machine. Compared with the traditional machine with reset spring structure, when cutting the plate, it is not required to overcome the elastic force of the reset spring, making it easy to cut.

A tape printer includes a guide portion guiding a label and having a first and a second guide portion. The first guide portion is arranged on a first end portion side with respect to a central line in a width direction of a feed path such that the portion does not include the central line in the width direction. The second guide portion is arranged on a second end portion side in the width direction such that the portion includes the central line. When a connecting portion connecting the first and the second guide portion is taken as a reference, the first guide portion is formed such that a height of the first guide portion substantially increases toward the first end portion side in the width direction. The second guide portion is formed such that a height of the second guide portion is substantially uniform in the width direction.

A system for forming and wrapping a plurality of stacks of sheet like product is provided. The system includes a separator apparatus for converting a stream of spaced apart sets of stacks into a repeating stepped configuration. The system includes a mechanism for merging the stepped configuration of stacks into a single file stream of stacks. The system includes a cutoff apparatus for cutting a plastic sleeve in which the stacks are wrapped. The system includes a turner apparatus for changing the direction of travel of individual units comprising of a stack of product within a length of the sleeve 90 degrees while maintaining the orientation of the units.

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.

A method for reducing an initial height of a package including: a priority phase including a priority step of determining a priority volume of a priority batch of objects of a maximum height and three secondary volumes, a priority step of moving an arm inside the package to a position in which a feeler comes into contact with the objects in order to determine a priority height, a priority step of deforming the flanks along two priority folding lines bordering the priority volume by a marking tool, and a priority step of separating the flanks by a cutting tool, three secondary phases including a secondary step of moving the arm by the priority distance, a secondary step of deforming the flanks bordering the secondary volume along two secondary folding lines by the marking tool and a secondary step of separating the flanks bordering the secondary volume by the cutting tool.

A cutting tool includes a bearing member, a first cutting member, a second cutting member, a manipulation member, an avoidance part and a measuring member. The first cutting member is fixedly disposed on one side of the bearing member. The second cutting member is pivotable about a first axle provided on the bearing member, and the manipulation member is pivotable about a second axle provided on the bearing member. The manipulation member and the second cutting member make up an effort-saving lever, in which the manipulation member drives the second cutting member to move.
