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.

Various systems, apparatuses and methods are disclosed for portioning and/or trimming cooked or pre-cooked bacon slices (or another food product) on a production line at full line speed. An exemplary system may comprise a food conveyor and a portioner. The food conveyor may have at least one transfer mechanism that carries bacon slices over at least one transfer comb. The portioner may have at least one fixed, stationary cutter positioned relative to the transfer comb in the path of the bacon slices. As the transfer mechanism moves the bacon slices across the transfer comb, the bacon slices contact the cutter and are moved by the transfer mechanism over the cutter, which cuts the bacon slices into two or more portions of shorter length.

The present disclosure is directed to an apparatus and related methods (i.e. utilities) for trimming plants, in particular, buds and flowers, to remove unwanted plant material. A typical application would be to process a plant to leave only trimmed buds and flowers for use in potpourri, fragrant sashes, or as a prelude to further processing of essential oils. The utilities enable faster and safer production of plant material than prior plant processing machines. The utilities employ a coaxial drum and cutting element that counter rotate. This coaxial cutting element typically includes a plurality of cutting elements, to create a plurality of cutting interface that shear unwanted plant material form plant material within the drum and then collect this debris though, for example, a vacuum system. The use of the counter-rotating cutting interfaces allows for multiplying the cutting interfaces over prior existing machines.

An elastic self-positioning pre-dicing device and method, the device includes a V-shaped self-positioning device, a cutter and a separation device; the V-shaped self-positioning device includes first and second elastic conveying faces which form a V-shaped conveying space, and materials are kept in a vertical state when arriving at a bottom end between the two elastic conveying faces with the conveying of the faces; the cutter is arranged at the bottom end between the two faces to cut the materials in half along a long axis; and the separation device is arranged at the lower part of the cutter and configured to convey the materials cut in half to next stage respectively. This overcomes the defects of low efficiency in manual dicing of seed potatoes and waste of seed potatoes. The half-cut seed potatoes will be conveyed to next intelligent dice identification station to ensure high utilization of seed potato production.

A recording apparatus including: an apparatus main body; a conveyance mechanism; a recorder; two first contact portions disposed in different positions in a conveyance direction of the recording medium and contactable with one surface of the recording medium; a cut mechanism configured to cut the recording medium, the cut mechanism being disposed between the two first contact portions and including a first blade, a second blade, and a second contact portion contactable with the other surface of the recording medium; and a cover configured to take an open position and a closed position in which a conveyance path of the recording medium is formed between the cover and the apparatus main body, the cover being formed with a groove, and the first blade being located in the groove when the cover is located in the closed position.

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.

Methods and equipment suitable for slicing products into lattice-type slices or chips. The methods and equipment utilize a knife assembly that includes a corrugated knife, a knife holder, and a clamp. A leading edge of the knife holder is defined by fingers and notches therebetween, and the fingers of the knife holder engage valleys in a first surface of the corrugated knife. The clamp is mated with a second surface of the corrugated knife and secures the corrugated knife to the knife holder. The clamp has a leading edge defined by fingers and notches therebetween. The fingers of the clamp engage valleys on the second surface of the corrugated knife, such that the fingers of the clamp are interdigitated with the fingers of the knife holder.

A dispenser for adhesive tape, which is attached to a surface such as a pole, wall, etc. It is useful for providing adhesive tape to a user who wants to be sure that the surface to be touched is clean. This surface can be, for example, a supermarket trolley or anything else with which you do not want to have direct contact.

The present invention discloses a printing and bursting device which comprises an apparatus; a printing assembly, which is disposed inside the apparatus and includes a print head and a transfer wheel, with the transfer wheel being disposed underneath the print head; a picking assembly, which is disposed inside the apparatus and is in adjacent to the printing assembly, with the picking assembly including a guiding piece and a movable wheel, and the movable wheel being disposed underneath the guiding piece and being abutted with the transfer wheel; and a cutter assembly, which is disposed inside the apparatus and is in adjacent to the picking assembly, with the cutter assembly being away from the printing assembly farther than the picking assembly.
