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 machine for cutting fruit or vegetables into segments, including a blade group (10), at least one of which is arranged with a radial orientation relative to a central axis (X); a presser (20) arranged above the blade group (10) and mobile according to an operating stroke along which it pushes a product (P) through the blades (10); a motor, connected to the presser (20) for activating it along an operating stroke thereof. The presser (20) includes a central body (21), connected to the motor; a peripheral body (22), arranged concentrically to the central body (21) and mobile relative to the central body (21) between a first and a second end position.

A pneumatic valve assembly with a trigger for switching the pneumatic valve assembly between two or more valve operation modes is disclosed herein. The valve operational modes are determined by selection of fluid conduits by a trigger valve assembly of the pneumatic valve assembly which interconnects fluid conduits to a main valve, pilot valves and a pneumatic cylinder of a fluid powered pole saw and wherein a piston located in the pneumatic cylinder is mechanically coupled to a cutting blade of the pole saw and the trigger is operatively coupled to the trigger valve assembly, wherein the pneumatic valve assembly is axially aligned with pneumatic cylinder.
