Abstract
This invention relates to an electromechanically operable apparatus for severing strip, such as a paper tape or plastic film tape, which is dispensed by a power-operated dispenser. A swingable cutter blade is connected to a crank, which is operated by a gear train via an eccentric drive and a connecting rod, which is provided with a cam track cooperating with the crank. In dependence on the condition of the cam track and the sense of rotation of a motor for driving the gear train the extent of the angular movement imparted to the swingable cutter blade can be selected for the making of a complete cut or a partial cut through the strip.
