A cutting apparatus includes a motor, a gear set, a gliding block, a rotating shaft and a handling element. The gear set includes a first gear part connected to the motor and a second gear part connected to a protrusion member. The center line of the protrusion member is shifted from the center line of the second gear part. The gliding block includes a gliding channel for receiving the protrusion member therein. The protrusion member is linearly moved along the gliding channel back and forth when the protrusion member is rotated in a circular motion. The rotating shaft is connected to an end of the gliding block such that the rotating shaft is rotated with synchronous linear movement of the protrusion member. The handling element has a first end sheathed around the rotating shaft and a second end operated to have the cutting member linearly moved along two guiding tracks.

Cutting apparatus

A marking device of a trimming apparatus includes a light source member, a lever member and a supporting member. The lever member includes a first sustaining arm, a second sustaining arm and a channel formed between the first sustaining arm and the second sustaining arm. The rear end of the light source member is fixed in the channel. The supporting member includes a sleeve for accommodating the front end of the light source member therein and an upper wing extending upwardly from the sleeve and conforming to the lever member. The upper wing includes a bolt hole corresponding to the second sustaining arm of the lever member. A resilient element is confined between the upper wing and the first sustaining arm. A screw penetrates through the bolt hole and is in contact with the second sustaining arm so as to render compression of the resilient element.

Marking device

A cutting apparatus is provided for cutting a sheet material. The cutting apparatus includes a bed for resting thereon the sheet material, a hollow rail structure spaced from the bed, a cutting element moved along the hollow rail structure to travel on the sheet material and cut it in a desired manner, a holding plate coupled to the hollow rail structure for depressing the sheet material on the bed to facilitate the cutting operation of the cutting element, and a sustaining element disposed in the hollow rail structure. The sustaining element sustains against an upper inner surface of the hollow rail structure to lift up the holding plate and sustains against a lower inner surface of the hollow rail structure to put down the holding plate.

A vertical rotary trimming apparatus includes a base for placing material, a rail mounted on the base, a plurality of trimming elements for trimming the material, a carriage slidably mounted on the rail, an engagement device including a plurality of engagement units, and a fixer for engaging with the engagement units of the engagement device in order to fix the positions of the engagement device and the plurality of trimming elements. The plurality of trimming elements are rotatably connected to the engagement device, and the engagement device can actuate the plurality of trimming elements by rotating on a plane perpendicular to the base.

Vertical rotary multi-functional trimming apparatus

A cutting apparatus for cutting a sheet material includes a platform; a rail structure secured onto the platform; a sliding member sliding along the rail structure; a pressing plate disposed under the rail structure and engaging with the sliding member for pressing the sheet material against the platform in response to an external force, wherein a gap exists between the pressing plate and the platform for receiving the sheet material before the external force is exerted; an elastic member connected with and disposed between the rail structure and the pressing plate to keep the gap between the pressing plate and the platform by a recovery force thereof when the external force is released; and a cutting member carried by the sliding member for cutting the sheet material sustained on the platform.

A trimming apparatus for variously trimming a sheet material is disclosed. The trimming apparatus includes a base for placing the sheet material thereon, a rail mounted on the base, a first trimming element for trimming the sheet material in a first manner, a second trimming element for trimming the sheet material in a second manner, a carriage movably engaging with the rail, having a first and a second portions coupled to the first and second trimming elements, respectively, and having a third portion for being exerted thereon a driving force to move along the rail, thereby carrying a selected one of the first and second trimming elements to cross over the sheet material.

Multi-functional trimming apparatus

A cutting apparatus for cutting a sheet material is provided. The cutting apparatus includes a platform; a rail structure secured onto the platform; a sliding member sliding along the rail structure; a cutting member movably engaging with and carried by the sliding member to pass through and cut the sheet material sustained on the platform; and an adjusting member. The adjusting member can urge the cutting member to move relative to the sliding member so as to contact with the sheet material in response to an external force, and return the cutting member to move relative to the sliding member so as to release the cut sheet material manually or automatically.

The present invention provides an electric paper punch (hole puncher) with a reinforcement mechanism. The paper punch comprises a module with a paper slot and punch pin, an axle, a connecting module connected to the punch pin, and a motor. The connecting module has a rear wall that is arc-shaped and works in conjunction with an eccentrically shaped wheel to drive the punch pin forward and backward as the eccentrically shaped wheel rotates within the wheel groove. The arc-shaped wall of the connecting module is reinforced to prevent distortion from repeated pressure exerted during movement of the punch pin.
