20140116223 | CUTTING APPARATUS - In a first aspect there is provided a cutting apparatus for cutting material by a shearing action. The cutting apparatus comprises a first arm comprising a first cutting blade and a second arm comprising a second cutting blade. The second arm is operatively associated with the first arm and mounted relative to the first arm so as to define a cutting region between the first cutting blade and the second cutting blade in which cutting region a cutting operation of material is in use effected as a result of cooperation between the first cutting blade and the second cutting blade. At least one of the first and the second arm is operatively mounted so as to pivot about a pivot axis relative to the other arm. The second cutting blade is mounted to the second arm via a mounting region, the mounting region being laterally offset from the cutting region in a direction along the pivot axis such that cutting or shearing forces generated during a cutting operation cause the second cutting blade to be urged towards the first cutting blade. | 05-01-2014 |
20120151780 | CUTTING APPARATUS - Cutting apparatus for cutting material, the apparatus comprising two blades arranged so that in use together they can effect a cutting operation in a cutting region therebetween, the blades being mounted relative to one another so that they are urged together in the cutting region as a result of a cutting force initiated by the cutting operation. In one embodiment at least one of the blades is mounted for pivotal movement about a pivot axis so that during the cutting operation the cutting or shearing force generated causes the blade to be pivotally urged towards the other blade. In another embodiment one blade is a rotatable cutter blade and the other blade is a further cutter blade which is adapted to cooperate together to perform the cutting operation in a cutting region, the further cutting blade being mounted so as to be urged towards the rotatable blade as a result of the cutting or shearing forces generated during the cutting operation. | 06-21-2012 |
