Abstract
A slitter cutting element for slitting a sheet of web material has an axially displaceable blade member arranged on a blade carrier. The axially displaceable blade member is biased by an elastomeric biasing member that provides a continuous and uniform contact force with a face of the blade member. The elastomeric biasing member is restrained from axial expansion by being bonded to the blade carrier.
