The present invention is a rolled paper cutting device and method which safely and easily cuts a variable length sheet of paper from rolled paper, including an adjustable holder for controlling the rolled paper, and a paper cutting blade embedded within a safety slot, the safety slot protecting a user from a blade related injury.

A medium supply device is provided that includes a single sheet paper accommodating unit at which media are stacked and placed, and a feeding roller configured to feed the media by rotating in contact with a top surface of the placed media. The feeding roller includes a contact portion configured to contact the single sheet paper and a non-contact portion configured to not contact the single sheet paper in a rotational direction, and a plurality of the contact portions and the non-contact portions are provided in a first direction that is an extending direction of a rotation axis of the feeding roller, and the contact portions adjacent to each other in the first direction are out of phase in the rotational direction.

A sheet affixing apparatus includes a drawing unit for drawing a sheet from a sheet roll and a sheet cutter for cutting the sheet drawn from the sheet roll by the drawing unit. The sheet cutter includes a sheet support for supporting from below the sheet drawn from the sheet roll by the drawing unit, a cutting knife for cutting the sheet supported by the sheet support, along the sheet support, and a sheet presser for pressing the sheet against the sheet support forwardly of the cutting knife in a direction along which the cutting knife moves in cutting the sheet, when the sheet is cut.

A tape machine includes a base, one or more wheels connected to the base, one or more uprights extending upwards from the base, a roller connected to the base, and a tape roll housing connected to the uprights and configured to receive a roll of tape therein to allow for rotational unwinding of the roll of tape. A cutter connected to the base and moveable between an idle position and a cut position. A blade on the cutter is moveable to cut the tape when in cut position.

A roll-dispensed stock container is provided. The roll-dispensed stock container has a recessed cutting track and can be assembled by computer aided manufacturing processes.

A method and an apparatus for correcting a feeding distance of a strip or cutting, involves feeding the strip over the feeding distance in a feeding direction towards a cutting line that extends at an oblique cutting angle to the feeding direction; detecting a lateral position of a first longitudinal edge of the strip in a lateral direction perpendicular to the feeding direction; wherein, when the detected lateral position is offset over an offset distance in the lateral direction with respect to a reference position for the first longitudinal edge at the measuring line, and adjusting the feeding distance with a correction distance that is related to the offset distance in a ratio that is defined by the cutting angle.

A magazine has a generally rectangular form of a frame. The frame has two spaced apart caps, at least one rail fixed to the caps so that the rail does not rotate, at least one tube rotatably connected between the caps and parallel to a rail, at least two finger assemblies upon a tube, a cutter that slides upon a rail, connectors and knobs upon each tube allowing it to rotate. The tube receiving a roll of wrapping paper upon its length and over the finger assemblies. The finger assemblies deflecting their fingers inside the roll. The connectors being of two severable components allowing detachment of a tube from a cap to receive a roll. The preferred embodiment has two rails and three tubes forming the frame.

Container including base portion defining compartment. Base portion includes bottom panel defining bottom of compartment, front base panel defining front of compartment and extending upwardly from bottom panel to top edge defining recessed area. Base portion further includes back panel extending from bottom panel to define a back of compartment, and first and second side tabs extending between bottom panel, front base panel, and back panel at opposing sides thereof to define opposing sides of compartment. Container further includes lid portion moveable between open position for access to compartment and closed position. Lid portion includes top panel defining top of lid portion, top panel hingedly-coupled to back panel, and front lid panel extending from the top panel. Front lid panel covers recessed area in closed position, and in open position web material can be dispensed from compartment through recessed area.
