Package display rack

Display rack

A rotatable package display rack comprises a post made of four vertically extending boards, two of the boards being spaced and parallel boards, and the other two boards being spaced and parallel, and perpendicular to the first two boards. An edge of one board engages the side of another board, and a hollow provided by faces of the vertical boards receives and journals a shaft extending upwardly from feet which support the post. The boards are notched, to receive cross arms, the cross arms supporting hangers from which packaged products may be suspended. Each cross arm is in engaging relationship with notches in two of the boards of the post, and engages the faces of the other two boards of the post.

Apparatus and method for cutting an end portion of a carton blank, e.g. to form a stitch flap, employs a rotatably driven male cutting head cooperating with a rotatably driven female cutting head. The female cutting head has a peripheral cutting groove therein and an anvil surface adjacent one side of the groove. The male cutting head has a two edged slot cutting blade of predetermined arcuate length which enters the groove each revolution, and a knife which extends transversely away from the blade and engages the anvil surface each revolution. The blade has a scallop-like cut-out in the side adjacent the anvil surface. The cut-out modifies the blade to a single edged cutting blade for a small part of its length. Scrap portions produced from the carton blank by a slotting cut of the blade and a transverse cut of the knife are integrally connected together by a bridging piece enabled by this cut-out. This integral piece of scrap is conveyed by the groove to a stripping blade and then drops onto a conveyor, so eliminating any uncontrolled portion of scrap. The groove can have radial side channels for more positively gripping strips of scrap engaged therein.
