A method of cutting blanks from an elastic paper comprises the following steps: removing a single elastic paper web of indefinite length from a mother roll; longitudinally cutting the single web, as it runs off the mother roll, into a plurality of paper panels; guiding the running paper panels in pairs into a superposed, face-to-face relationship to form at least one running superposed paper panel pair; guiding the running paper panel pair between cooperating cutting rollers of a rotary cutter and cutting the blanks from the running paper panel pair by the cutting rollers alternatingly from opposite sides of the paper panel pair while countersupporting the paper panel pair by the momentarily non-cutting cutting roller.

A coffee maker includes a housing which supports a fresh water container above a receptacle for the coffee. A resistive heating element is mounted in the container to heat the water. The bottom of the container is provided by a downwardly sloping element having an outlet to release heated water to a filter vessel which is releasably connected to the bottom element by a bayonet lock. The filter vessel has an upper rim which is pressed toward an annular shoulder on the underside of the bottom element to create a seal, so that a bubble forms beneath the bottom element when coffee is being brewed. The upper side of the bottom element has arms which mount a temperature-sensitive bimetallic snap element over the outlet. A resilient stopper is mounted on the snap element and is raised from the outlet by the snap element when the water is hot enough for coffee.

A process for manufacturing articles of filter paper in which the wet strength of the regions of weak points resulting from mechanical working is increased by the application of a wet strengthener of cross-linked cationic polyalkylenimines. For this purpose, the wet strengthener is applied only to the regions of the weak points after the filter paper has been manufactured. Seams or edge reinforcements are formed by relief printing before the application of the wet strengthener and a heat treatment takes place after application of the thermoplastic wet strengthener to cause the wet strengthener to harden. The application of the wet strengthener is effected in measured doses so that the legally prescribed maximum amounts to be added are not exceeded.

Waste edge pieces are separated from punched blanks, especially cardboard box blanks, by puncturing to engage followed by outward pulling. The puncturing action is performed by a pawl, having a serrated edge, which is driven in an orbital motion.
