A sheet sticking apparatus includes a sticking unit that sticks a sheet to a workpiece held by a chuck table and a cutting unit that cuts the stuck sheet. The cutting unit includes a cutting blade that cuts the sheet, a movement unit that raises and lowers the cutting blade from and toward the chuck table or moves the cutting blade along the outer circumference of the workpiece, and a cleaning part that removes adhering things of the cutting blade. The cleaning part is disposed on the trajectory of the cutting blade that moves by the movement unit and executes cleaning by coming into contact with the cutting blade that moves.

A rotary dough molding machine (10). The machine has a frame (6), a die roller (4) rotatably mounted to the frame (6), a knife (3) for scraping dough from the die roller (4), the knife (3) extending along the die roller (4), and a driver for moving the knife (3) between a scraping position and an inactive position, with the driver having a first drive (1) acting on the first end (31) of the knife (3) and a second drive (2) acting on the second end (32) of the knife (3). The first drive (1) and the second drive (2) can be actuated independently of each other.

A printer comprises a housing which is composed of a box-shaped main body section with an opening on one surface thereof and a cover for opening and closing the opening of the main body section and forming a paper discharge port between the cover and the main body section at the time the cover is located at a position to close the opening; a storage section houses a roll paper; a printing section carries out printing on the paper; a cutter which has a cutting edge used to cut the paper; a support section which supports the cutter in a manner of freely moving between a use position at the time of cutting the paper by the cutting edge and a non-use position close to an edge of the paper discharge port with respect to the use position.

Disclosed is a cutter module to be used with a printing apparatus. The cutter module comprises a blade driving mechanism; and a rotary cutting blade driven by the blade driving mechanism. The blade driving mechanism comprises: a clutch mechanism selectively to enable the blade driving mechanism to drive the rotary cutting blade in a forward cutting direction or a backward direction. Also disclosed is a printing system comprising the cutter module and a method to be used with the cutter module.

A groove engraving device and a groove engraving method are provided. The groove engraving device includes: a processing chamber for containing a piece to be processed, a cutter for groove engraving on the piece to be processed, a clamping mechanism for clamping the piece to be processed, a driving mechanism for driving the clamping mechanism to rotate, and a temperature controlling device for controlling a temperature inside the processing chamber to be within a preset temperature range. The clamping mechanism and the cutter are disposed inside the processing chamber, and the clamping mechanism is rotatable with respect to the processing chamber. The temperature controlling device is disposed inside the processing chamber. The groove engraving device can improve the processing efficiency and quality of the groove engraving on the piece to be processed.

According to the present invention there is provided a method of projecting images of sewing patterns as templates onto fabrics. The contemplated application for the invention includes sewist making an article of clothing. As such, images of the patterns to be sewn are stored in a storage device for latter access from a computing device that sends them to a projecting device for projection. The projecting devices is then positioned, graduated, calibrated, and set for optimizing the cutting of the fabric. Thereafter, the operator may interactively modify the projected image, and as such initiates the cutting of the fabric, in accordance to the projected sewing patterns.
