Personal cutting devices in the form of hand held punches for producing jewelry display cards include two aligned templates having identical patterns of apertures and being securely mounted in a frame such that a space between the templates accommodates a piece of cardstock. There is a spring biased movable member having elongate cutting elements designed to pass through the apertures in both templates, and an activation lever on which indicia is printed to show the aperture patterns produced by the punches. A housing protects the mechanism. Each punch is specifically designed to produce a display card that can hold and display a single article of jewelry such as a pair of earrings, a necklace or a brooch. The punches vary in size according to the template patterns. The punches enable the jewelry designer to use any card stock, including a business card, to display an article of jewelry.

A fixed blade support device includes a biasing member and a fixed blade support member (11). The fixed blade support member (11) includes a base surface portion (11a), an upright surface portion (11b), and a retainer portion (11c). The upright surface portion (11b) extends from the base surface portion (11a) in a biasing direction so as to close a rear side of a root portion of a fixed blade (12) on an opposite side to a blade edge portion thereof, and is configured to prevent the fixed blade (12) from being disengaged in a direction of engagement with a movable blade. The retainer portion (11c) extends from the upright surface portion (11b) so as to cover the root portion of the fixed blade (12), and is configured to prevent the fixed blade (12) from being disengaged in the biasing direction.

The invention relates to a Device (10) for separating a tubular web (11) in two flat webs (12, 13) with an adjustable blade (20) for cutting the tubular web (11) and with a pulling device (30) which impinges the blade (20) with a tensile force (K) on a folding edge (14) of the tubular web (11) wherein the pulling device (30) is configured in a way that the tensile force (K) is adjustable depending on the tubular properties of the tubular web (11) and that the tensile force (K) can be mainly kept constant with constant tubular properties independent from the tubular web (11).
